The beginning of Enola Holmes

Enola Holmes was a character created by Nancy Springer and her editor Michael Green. She was first introduced in “The Case of the Missing Marquess”. It is the first book of The Enola Holmes mysteries, published in 2006.

Nancy Springer based the character of Enola on her own childhood. Incidentally, her relationship with her mother and two brothers who are much older than her inspired Enola’s isolation. Springer went on to publish a total of 6 books based on the adventures of Enola Holmes. The latest of them was published in 2010.

The first movie is based on the book “The Case of the Missing Marquess”. In both, the book and the movie Enola begins an adventurous journey looking for her mother. Being a teenager, her worst fears are Boarding school and the prospect of wearing corsets.

Mycroft, her eldest brother wants to send her to a boarding school for a ‘proper’ education, so she runs away. She finds herself in London where she solves a lot of ‘missing person’ cases while eluding and staying ahead of her brothers. One of them is the disappearance of a young Viscount, Lord Tewksbury. Enola Holmes 2 is also supposedly based on one of Nancy Springer’s books. But we are yet to know which one.

On the other hand, the show writer Jack Thorne could combine stories from different books. So we could see a completely new story independent from a single book. Emmy award winner Harry Bradbeer, who worked for hit shows like Flea Bag, Killing Eve, and Enola Holmes, returns as the director.
