I simply love every thing about Sherlock Holmes! One of my all-time favorite ficitional characters & one of the most fascinating & intriguing fictional characters that I've ever come across😳 I've read all 4 Novels as well as all the short stories (52 I think) featuring him because one day while at the library I was lucky enough to come across this huge book containing the complete works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle featuring Sherlock Holmes😃

Some of my favorite Sherlock Holmes Mysteries are

1.) Hound of the Baskervilles

2.) Adventure of the Dying Detective

3.) The Empty House

4.) The Three Garridebs

5.) The Second Stain

6.) The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire

7.) Man with the twisted lip

I've also read this book called "The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes" written by an author called Vincent Starrett which is basically about how Sir Arthur Conan Doyle came to create & name this brilliant detective & a study of the character itself.

According to this book(if my memory serves me right) this is how Sir Doyle had created the famous detective's famous name .

Sherlock-Once while playing cricket Sir Arthur had scored a lot of runs against a bowler whose name had been "Sherlock" & Sir Arthur has said he had always had a soft spot for the name "Sherlock" since then.

Holmes-Apparently Sir Arthur had been an immense admirer of Sir Oliver Wendell Holmes & speculation is that he might have named the famous detective after him.

NB:The above are facts as I recall them from what I've read in that book quite sometime ago (& I don't know how accurate that book is) but thought I'd just metion them here as fun facts😳
