Sherlock Holmes

No not quite. Some similarities can be drawn but the movie has more action than detective work, which the books does.

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

A very subjective question, but I would say - The Hound of the Baskervilles. I agree. That has been made into at least 10 different versions for movies and TV.

Wilson gets paid to copy the encyclopedia. What the real truth is that the red headed league is fake and that they got him out of the pawn shop so that they could dig into the bank and steal the money. As soon as the tunnel is done Wilson gets a notice that the red headed league has disbanded and that sends Wilson to Sherlock Holmes with the question of what is going on.

A Study in Scarlet is the first one followed by:

The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes

To answer your question, the date generally accepted by scholars as the date that Holmes supposedly plunged into the Reichenbach Falls is: Monday, 4th May 1891.

His death of old age or some other cause later in his life is not recorded.

------

Sherlock Holmes was not a real person but a character created by writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. This fiction hero "died" in the story "The Adventure of the Final Problem" published in 1893 in The Strand Magazine and then in "The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes"

People were so concerned that Conan Doyle had to bring the great detective back. In 1901 Sherlock Holmes reappeared in "The Hound of the Baskervilles". The story supposedly happened before Holmes' "death" at the Reichenbach Falls in Switzerland.

Holmes returned officially from the dead in the 1903 story "The Empty House", which is the first story in the book "The Return of Sherlock Holmes"

Doyle wrote the Sherlock Holmes stories until 1927 though the chronology of Holmes' adventures ends with "His Last Bow", at the beginning of World War I in 1914.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle died in 1930.

Peter Jones is the Scotland Yard detective assigned to the case who may or may not be the same person as Athelney Jones from 'The Sign of Four' case.

The fictional character resided at 22lB Baker Street in London. This may well be toady as sort of Sherlock Holmes Museum. It is not too distant from the Madame Tussaud wax museum, and she was for real. Somewhat congruently- Charlie Chan operated out of 22lB Pacific Avenue in some California City. The Motto of the Wise is- Beware of Surprises!

Violin-filled classical------

"German [music] . . . is rather more to my taste than Italian or French." -- Sherlock Holmes, 'The Red-Headed League'

[Sherlock Holmes was] patiently occupied upon a subject which he had recently made his hobby - the music of the Middle Ages. -- John Watson, 'The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans'

There are four concerts noted in the stories that Holmes likely attended:

Violinist [Wilhelmina] Norman-Neruda (1817-1904) in 'A Study in Scarlet'

Violinist [Pablo Martín Melitón de] Sarasate (1844-1908) in 'The Red-Headed League'

Music of composer [Wilhelm Richard] Wagner (1813-1883) in 'The Adventure of the Red Circle'

'Carina' in 'The Adventure of the Retired Colourman'

Also a performance of the French opera Les Huguenots featuring the De Reszkes [Jean (1850-1925), Edouard (1853-1917), & Joséphine (1855-1891)] at the end of 'The Hound of the Baskervilles.'

Being the first Consulting Detective in the world :}

Also, for bringing observation and deduction to criminal detection in Conan Doyle's world. Without Holmes' contribution, much criminal detection of the day followed Occam's (Ockham's) Razor more than an empirical, investigative, scientific approach.

His brother, Mycroft.

Sherlock Holmes had one brother. His name was Mycroft Holmes. He was smarter than Sherlock, but did not like moving around the way Sherlock always did.

Sherlock Holmes's grandmother was the sister of the French painter, Vernet.

Towards the beginning of 'The Adventure of the Norwood Builder' we find this passage:

At the time of which I speak, Holmes had been back for some months, and I, at his request, had sold my practice and returned to share the old quarters in Baker Street. 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.

Their partnership works well in this mystery because they communicate with each other and play off each other well, as in other stories. They trust each other, and so they can't be corrupted or easily killed to remove them from solving the mystery. Watson is silent when Holmes wants to lay a trap, and many interesting details are revealed because either Watson is writing to Holmes, or asking Holmes to explain something. Mostly, in this story, it is Holmes' mind and Watson's footwork and observations... Holmes does come out to help Watson in the end, but the pairing works well because they both contribute and work as a team, while having different talents and roles.

Yes, he marries Miss Mary Morstan, who he met in the Sign of Four, and who is thought to have died during the space between The Final Problem and The Empty House. He is also thought to have remarried later on, but it is never specified who to.

"My friend and colleague, Dr. Watson" or, sometimes, just "my friend, Dr. Watson."

"Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."

In "The Hound of the Baskervilles," as in much English fiction, the moors are English hills. In the real workd, they are hills in England that are a frequent spot for hiking.
In the Hound of the Baskervilles the moor is not a 'who' it is a 'what'. The moor is an area of high ground with grass which in the dark of night adds mystery to the story.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyleâ??s â??The Hound of the Baskervillesâ?? is an engaging tale that relies on solid character development and mood to deliver a story that is intellectually and emotionally satisfying and spares us stilted, unbelievable situations in delivering the mystery.

The Sherlock Holmes Movie is based in the 1800's. They use cabs and taxis like we do, but the buildings and materials in the movie are very old and we have modern materials in our period of time. They didn't have any printers they had copiers who would be a person and they would write the exact same handwriting as the writing to give to the person who wants to copy a paper.

I'm not sure exactly when, but I know he retired to Sussex and lived as a beekeeper with no one for company except for his bees and his books. Very sad, I know. But at least he didn't die!!

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle veiled his famous character Sherlock Holmes by stating that he has retired and is living somewhere in Sussex engaged in bee-keeping, agricultural cultivation and research.

"My villa is situated upon the southern slope of the Downs, commanding a great view of the Channel." -- Sherlock Holmes, 'The Adventure of the Lion's Mane'

It is generally accepted as sometime in late 1903 or early 1904 when Holmes retired, and he would have been about 50 years old (based on other speculations).

The Adventure of the Red-Headed League was created in 1891.

No. Holmes never actually made a profession of boxing, though he did enjoy doing it.

the hound is the evil! keep away from the evil!

The bell-rope or bell-pull was typically a decorative rope attached to a mechanical rope network ending with bells located in the servants' quarters used to call them to a specific room based upon which bell was ringing. In 'The Adventure of the Speckled Band', Sherlock Holmes says, "and to the rope - for so we may call it, since it was clearly never meant for a bell-pull" for it ended at the ceiling!

The story says: "Boscombe Valley is a country district not very far from Ross, in Herefordshire." Ross-on-Wye is a village in southern Herefordshire, England; however, the Boscombe Valley is not a real place.
