Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was the one who wrote the books of Sherlock Holmes back at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the twentieth century, and he is long dead. However, films are still being made, notably the Sherlock Holmes film of 2009 which is to be followed by a sequel in December of 2011 and the BBC series "Sherlock", setting Sherlock Holmes in moder day London, was released in 2010 and the next series will follow in 2012.
The Sherlock Holmes was a popular series. Many people like to read these books.
This is because the author, wanted to make Sherlock Holmes sound realistic enough for people to not think that he was fictional.
The answer is: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle! Most people should know that!
The narrator of most Sherlock Holmes stories is Dr. Watson
Sherlock Holmes lived with his flatmate and friend Dr. Watson and their landlady Mrs. Hudson lived in the same building.
The Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes movie is not based on any Sir Arthur Conan Doyle story. Conan Doyle used no illusions or brainwashing in any of the Sherlock Holmes stories.
A lot a people illustrated the Sherlock Holmes stories but the most famous is Sidney Paget and Frederic Dorr Steele is perhaps second most famous.

The Sherlock Holmes TV Show which is considered the best finished years ago after the actor who portrayed Holmes, Jeremy Brett passed away. There is at least 1 Sherlock Holmes TV show on at the moment. It's called Sherlock. It stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Holmes and Martin Freeman as Watson. It is a modern adaptation, set in 21st century London. Series 2 will be coming to BBC1 soon. I recommend it. It's very good, some people even think it may be better than the Jeremy Brett version. Also an American TV broadcaster called CBS are planning on making a modern Sherlock Holmes. Obviously they didn't copy the idea at ALL.
Sherlock Holmes' responsibilities are to arrest people who are up to no good and help the public solve their problems. If you don't think this is thorough enough look up the word detective in the dictionary.
Basil Rathbone played Sherlock Holmes.
