Sherlock Holmes was/Is a fictional character created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Doyle was a Medical Doctor Who found his writing career so lucrative he abandoned his medical practice. Holmes has existed in all kinds of adaptations, movies, television shows, even comic books, but he is a fiction character, not a real person .He has no more historical reality than say Charlie Chan who was created by Earl Derr Biggers and again, later amplified by different writers. The Motto of the Wise is- Beware of Surprises! comes from the TV cartoon version of Chan.
