Sherlock Holmes


The character grew tremendously in popularity with the beginning of the first series of short stories in 1891; further series of short stories and two novels published in serial form appeared between then and 1927. The stories cover a period from around 1880 up to 1907. Doyle said that the character of Holmes was inspired by Dr. Joseph Bell, for whom Doyle had worked as a clerk at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.
The hound pursued Selden to his death in a fall because he was wearing Sir Henry's old clothes.
