Personally, I'd walk a million in tight boots just to read his letters to the milkman. -- Stephen Fry Now, as in his lifetime, cab drivers, statesmen, academics, and raggedy-arsed children sit spellbound at his feet... No wonder, then, if the pairing of Holmes and Watson has triggered more imitators than any other duo in literature -- John Le Carre Why do people still read Sherlock Holmes in an age of DNA testing and electron microscopes? It's elementary. Holmes has a timeless intelligence that puts him head, shoulders and deer-stalker above all other detectives -- Alexander McCall Smith Holmes is a mesmerising creation and Conan Doyle a master storyteller The Times I read every Sherlock Holmes story...they have certainly found a permanent place in English literature -- Winston Churchill The brilliance of the stories lies in the relationship between Holmes and Watson, which is both funny and touching -- Jonathan Coe The world's most famous detective -- Ruth RendellBiography Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) started to write as a doctor, whilst waiting for patients to arrive. Sherlock Holmes first appeared in A Study in Scarlet (1887). The Holmes stories soon attracted such a following that Conan Doyle felt the character overshadowed his other work. In The Final Problem (1893) Conan Doyle killed him off, but was obliged by public demand to restore the detective to life.
