| | Sherlock Holmes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Sherlock Holmes' abilities as both a good fighter and as an excellent logician have been a boon to other authors who have lifted his name, or details of his exploits, for their plots. | | | Holmes' success at his brand of deduction, therefore, is due to his mastery of both a huge body of particular knowledge of things like footprints, cigar ashes, and poisons, which he uses to make relatively simple deductive inferences, and the fine art of ordering and weighing different competing explanations of a body of evidence. | | | Holmes: The vampire Radu the Handsome, a younger brother of Vlad III Dracula, who had succeeded him as a ruler of Wallachia. |

| | All about Sherlock Holmes by Anthony Bruno |
| | Holmes is such a vivid character, readers can’t help but wonder where the idea for him originated. | | | Frequently bored with life and what he called the “monotony of existence,” Holmes “loathe[s] every form of society with his whole Bohemian soul.” He has no lovers and would likely have been a difficult mate. | | | Symons thinks that Conan Doyle deliberately ruled out romance because he believed that Holmes had “to be a man immune from ordinary human weaknesses and passions.” Holmes has larger concerns. |

| | The tale begins by describing the events that connected Sherlock Holmes and Watson, and paints a portrait of Sherlock, his erratic habits, and his curious lifestyle. | | | The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes: The Novels (A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of Four, The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Valley of Fear) by Arthur Conan Doyle | | | As the reader wades past the tense introductions of A Study in Scarlet and moves towards such classic tales as The Hound of the Baskervilles, "The Adventure of the Speckled Band," and "The Final Problem," she is sure to draw her own conclusions about Holmes's veiled past and his quirky relationship with his "Boswell," Watson. |

| | Straight Dope Staff Report: Did Sherlock Holmes really exist? |
| | Holmes was extremely popular not just in England and the U.S. but throughout Europe and Latin America. | | | I draw your attention to The Annotated Sherlock Holmes by William S. Baring-Gould (1967), which contains all the stories with ample footnotes (to explain terms no longer commonly known to us, among other things). | | | Authors have written "newly discovered" adventures of Holmes and Watson, including Nicholas Meyer's The Seven-Per-Cent Solution--perhaps the most famous of all Holmesian pastiches, of which more later. |

From his most famous cases to his passion for the violin and weakness for recreational drugs, every aspect of Holmes's character and career is examined. | | | This alone is good enough reason to purchase this item, but there are many more delightful features which adds to the quality of the film, including few film footages (with sound) of commentary by the Great Author himself, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. | | | I liked it-at the begaining the biograghy took place in a Sherlock Holmes soitey.Dr.Watson(David Burke) told his story about Sherlock Holmes.On the film there was a interfew with Sherlock Holmes's creator Sir Coman Doyle.I think it was made in the late 1920's,because sound didn't arrived in movies untill 1926-I liked it all the same! |
