Sherlock HolmesSherlock Holmes was a fictional character, and therefore did not write any stories.

The narrator of most of the stories was Holmes' friend Dr. John H. Watson though Holmes' character did write two of the 60 stories along with many trifling monographs.

The stories were written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and published between 1887 (19th Century) and 1927 (20thCentury.)
