Arthur Conan Doyle created Sherlock Holmes in 1887 in a story entitled A Study in Scarlet. Doyle was so impressed by one of his lecturers at the medical school of Edinburgh University, Dr Joseph Bell, that he made his hero resemble him. After A Study in Scarlet, Doyle wrote The Sign of Four where Holmes and Watson, appeared. It was considered a brilliant work.
