How many short stories featuring Sherlock Holmes did Arthur Conan Doyle write?

Answer 1

Sherlock Holmes Novels

There are four full-length Sherlock Holmes novels -

A Study in Scarlet

The Sign of the Four

The Hound of the Baskervilles

The Valley of Fear

There are also 56 short stories, collected together in the anthologies called:

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes

The Return of Sherlock Holmes

His Last Bow

The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes

All of the stories were originally published in serial form in monthly magazines and were published in book form later.

Answer 2

Holmes wrote 'The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier' and 'The Adventure of the Lion's Mane' along with several trifling monographs including one on identifying cigar ash, the tracing of footprints, the influence of a trade upon the form of the hand, two on the human ear, the dating of documents, deciphering secret writings, the Polyphonic Motets of Lassus, and 'The Book of Life,' a rather ambitiously titled article that drew Watson's attention. Of course, his magnum opus was the 'Practical Handbook of Bee Culture, with some Observations upon the Segregation of the Queen.' He also planned some others including: the typewriter, malingering, and the uses of dogs in detective work.

These are all fictional titles, of course.

Nothing. A.C. Doyle wrote Sherlock Holmes and its told as if Watson is writing it with the exception of the two above from Holmes' point of view, and, of course, 'His Last Bow' and 'The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone', which were written in third person.
