Sir Arthur Conan Doyle actually wrote 60 stories about Sherlock Holmes.
The novels and short stories were written from 1886 until 1927.
Most of the Sherlock Holmes stories are written in descriptive style. For instance, many stories contain historical fiction (based on actual history), and the actions of the protagonist, Sherlock Holmes, are described in detail. However, many parts of the stories are in narrative style, and mostly when a client is narrating the details of the case. Also, the two short stories written in third person and the two stories written by Sherlock Holmes are mostly narratives. The two styles may, at times, also be mixed together.
