Even in these days of wall-to-wall cop shows Sherlock Holmes remains the world's best known, and most frequently portrayed, detective. Created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in the late 19th century, Holmes is a somewhat eccentric English consulting detective. Operating from his home at 221B Baker Street, London, Holmes makes use of his extraordinary abilities of observation and deductive reasoning to solve all manner of weird and wonderful cases. His adventures are documented by his loyal companion and assistant Dr Watson. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes |
