abstract
  • Sherlock Holmes is a fictional character created by British author and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. A London-based "consulting detective" whose abilities border on the fantastic, Holmes is known for his astute logical reasoning, his ability to adopt almost any disguise, and his use of forensic science to solve difficult cases. The character first appeared in print in 1887, and was featured in four novels and fifty-six short stories by Conan Doyle, as well as later works by other authors. The first novel, A Study in Scarlet, appeared in "Beeton's Christmas Annual" in 1887 and the second, The Sign of the Four, in "Lippincott's Monthly Magazine" in 1890. The character's popularity grew with the first series of short stories in The Strand Magazine, beginning with "A Scandal in Bohemia" in 1891; additional short-story series and two novels (published in serial form) appeared from then to 1927. The events in the stories take place from about 1880 to 1914.
