Arthur Conan Doyle 
 
People say that many visitors to London want to go to Baker 
Street and see the house where Sherlock Holmes lived. They get very 
surprised and disappointed when they learn that Sherlock Holmes 
never lived in Baker Street, or anywhere else, that he was not a real 
man but a literary character.  
Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930), the famous English writer and 
author of the stories about Sherlock Holmes, wrote other books too, 
among them fantastic books, but the greatest popularity was brought 
to him by the books about this brilliant detective. Sherlock Holmes 
became popular as soon as the first stories about him appeared, and 
when, some years later, Conan Doyle wrote history about the death of 
the detective, his readers didn’t like it; they demanded new stories 
about the adventures of Sherlock Holmes, and the writer had to bring 
his hero back to life.
