"The Complete Novel of Sherlock Holmes is authored by the Scottish writer Arthur Conan Doyle who created Sherlock Holmes, a fictional character and the prototype for the modern detective. Holmes’ detecting abilities become clear, when explained by his companion, Dr. John H. Watson, who recounts the criminal cases they jointly pursue. Watson’s narrations describe Holmes as a very complex and moody character. In the book featuring Holmes, a number of characters recur, including Scotland Yard inspector Lestrade. Baker Street Irregulars, Mycroft and Professor James Moriarty are other important characters that appear at regular intervals. The most popular stories in which Holmes is featured are: The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle, The Adventure of the Speckled Band, The Adventure of the Six Napoleons, and the novel The Hound of the Baskervilles. Thanks to Doyle and readers’ immense response, Holmes remained a popular figure into the 21st century. Throughout the world, Holmes’ adventures have attracted myriad translations."
