Baker Street Irregulars (books)

Template:Stubs The Baker Street Irregulars is a fictional group and major protagonists in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes book series. They first appeared in the first novel A Study in Scarlet published in 1887; in this story, Holmes described the group as a network of young street children he employed as informants. Their name, "Irregulars," stemmed from their unconventional and irregular lifestyles compared to the rest of society.

The Baker Street Irregulars are a group of homeless children and young adults who lived in the streets of London during the late 19th century. Sherlock Holmes often relied on their assistance to gather information, carry out reconnaissance, and perform various tasks that required their knowledge of the city and its inhabitants. The Baker Street Irregulars played a crucial role in Holmes' investigative work. Their ability to navigate the city unnoticed and gather information from various sources made them invaluable assets to Holmes. In return, Holmes would often provide them with food, shelter, and occasional financial support.

One of the most notable members of the Baker Street Irregulars is the character called Wiggins, who becomes Holmes' primary contact and leader of the group. Wiggins is known for his street smarts, intelligence, and loyalty to Holmes. Other named characters within the group include Spiggot, Titch, Pippin, and several others.
