What was the first Sherlock Holmes story published in The Strand Magazine?

A Sherlock Holmes story titled 'The Adventure of the Cardboard Box' was contained in The Strand Magazine (January 1893); however, it was subsequently banned (by Conan Doyle himself) until 1917 though it did appear in unauthorized American books before that time. The reason given for the ban was the elicit (for the Victorian era) adultery portrayed in the story. When it did reappear it was, and still is, typically placed in the collected short stories titled 'His Last Bow' rather than in its original order in 'The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes.' Another anomaly in this tale is that the so-called mind-reading incident at the beginning of the story was transplanted to 'The Resident Patient,' and it remains in both stories (American version only).


Where does the Holmes family live?

There is little mentioned about Sherlock's family. Only a few times you meet his brother Mycroft while Holmes' grandmother was sister to Vernet the French artist and a distant relative Verner who bought Watson's pactice, but there is not mention of family other than that. "My ancestors were country squires, who appear to have led much the same life as is natural to their class" -- Sherlock Holmes, 'The Adventure of the Greek Interpreter'


When did Sherlock Holmes first appear in America?

The American magazine Lippincott's Monthly specifically commissioned Conan Doyle to write the novel, which eventually became 'The Sign of Four' and was published in February 1890. It is conceivable 'A Study in Scarlet' made its way to America before this time though none of the early American printings of the first novel are dated.

Who were Agatha Christie's parents?

We are not told who Sherlock Holmes' parents were, but we do have these clues to his ancestry: In 'The Adventure of the Greek Interpreter' we find this exchange: __"In your own case," said I, "from all that you have told me it seems obvious that your faculty of observation and your peculiar facility for deduction are due to your own systematic training." __"To some extent," he answered, thoughtfully. "My ancestors were country squires, who appear to have led much the same life as is natural to their class. But, none the less, my turn that way is in my veins, and may have come with my grandmother, who was the sister of Vernet, the French artist. Art in the blood is liable to take the strangest forms." __"But how do you know that it is hereditary?" __"Because my brother Mycroft possesses it in a larger degree than I do." In 'The Adventure of the Norwood Builder' Watson writes: "A young doctor, named Verner, had purchased my small Kensington practice, and given with astonishingly little demur the highest price that I ventured to ask - an incident which only explained itself some years later, when I found that Verner was a distant relation of Holmes', and that it was my friend who had really found the money." ------ The Sherlock Holmes stories do not list the names of Holmes's parents. Later books, from authors other than Doyle, have speculated on who his parents might have been. One such speculation produced the names Siger and Violet based upon Holmes using the name Sigerson during his Great Hiatus and his fondness for clients named Violet.


Was Sherlock Holmes rich?

Sherlock Holmes came from a rich family. "My ancestors were country squires, who appear to have led much the same life as is natural to their class." Country squires meant landowners, hence "old money". He was well educated, as one can tell from his speech, and his uncaring attitude towards money speaks of a life where he never wanted for anything he might've truly needed.
