Sherlock Holmes



"In those days Mr Sherlock Holmes was still living in Baker Street and the Bastables were looking for treasure in the Lewisham Road."

- Chapter One

Sherlock Holmes was a hyper-logical and brilliant consulting detective who lived at 221B Baker Street, London from 1881/1882 until he retired to the Sussex South Downs in 1903/1904, with the exception of a hiatus between 1891 and 1894.

Behind the Scenes
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, a Scottish author and doctor, created Sherlock Holmes for the novel A Study in Scarlet in 1887. He later wrote three other novels and fifty-six short stories featuring the detective, who was briefly mentioned in the beginning of the first chapter of The Magician's Nephew.
