He is, of course, the creator of Sherlock Holmes, detective extraordinaire. Arguably the most famous detective who never lived, Sherlock Holmes is the star of stories such as The Hound of the Baskervilles (novel), "The Speckled Band," and "The Red-Headed League" (short stories).
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle shaped the way the classic detective novel was written, and Sherlock Holmes was his greatest creation. Movies and tv shows are still being produced and enjoyed by fans of Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick, Dr. Watson.
