Sherlock Holmes story translated into Welsh by Powys group

It has taken over 120 years but fans of the fictional Victorian detective Sherlock Holmes say one of his cases has finally been translated into Welsh.

The Deerstalkers of Welshpool, a Welsh Sherlock Holmes society with 20 members, has published The Speckled Band - Y Cylch Brith - in Welsh.

It is one of 56 short stories penned by author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who also wrote four long stories about Holmes.

His books have now been translated into 99 different languages.
