Sherlock Holmes

Answer The first story about the great fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes was A Study in Scarlet. It was first published in Beeton's Christmas Annual, in London, England in December 1887. Many of the subsequent stories where published in The Strand. When he was created by the author of the fictional Sherlock Holmes stories: in 1887. That is when Sir Arthur Conan Doyle published the first of his detective stories. Sherlock Holmes is a fictional character, not a real person.

I think the misleading detail in this case is the Red Headed League itself. The league was only formed to lure Jabez Wilson into doing the fake 'work'. Wilson would have got his post even if he was bald because the sole point of creating the league was to remove him from his shop from ten a.m. to two p.m. every day. However it is important to note that Wilson was not the target but the unwitting facilitator to the attempted crime. This story uses one of Conan Doyle's favourite motifs of the decoy. For similar stories where a character is decoyed from their usual environment to facilitate a crime see 'The Stockbroker's Clerk'; 'The Naval Treaty'; 'The Second Stain'; 'The Three Garridebs' and arguably 'The Copper Beeches'.

Impossible to answer as The hound of the Baskervilles is one of the most "Made into movies from a book" of all time, every time it is re-made, it changes.
The hound of the Baskervilles is one of (if not THE) most filmed movie of all time and many of the remakes differ greatly from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's classic.

Vermissa valley was a valley of fear . it was full of scowerers every one wanted to kill each other like scowerers want to kill doughlas and because of the fear of scowerers every one was leaving the valley.

He deduces that it was a warning, and a friendly warning, by someone who wished to remain anonymous. It was rushed due to fear of discovery and carried in the pocket until such time as it could be mailed. He also knew that most of the words were cut out of The Times (London), and the other words were printed to conceal the sender. We learn at the end of the story that he detected a hint of perfume on the letter, which indicated a female sender.

Vincent Spaulding "Has a white splash of acid upon his forehead." Also, his ears were "pierced for ear-rings," which was uncommon among men except in the seafaring class in the Victorian era.

1. A hugely entertaining and totally absorbing book which covers a further twelve of Sherlock Holmes' investigations originally published in The Strand magazine.

Holmes adventures are to me fascinating, revealing as they do the dark underbelly of Victorian society and many of them would create lurid headlines were they to actually occur today, even Holmes himself is not free from scandal when he is revealed by Watson to be of all things, a cocaine addict in A Scandal in Bohemia.

2. From his battle of the sexes with the resourceful adventuress Miss Irene Adler in, A Scandal in Bohemia, to his foiling of the criminal intentions of the "fourth smartest man in London" in the truly bizarre and at times comical, The Red-Headed League, Holmes is called upon to use his extraordinary powers of deduction and his ability to observe when others merely see, in a battle of wits against as varied and as determined a bunch of criminals as ever stepped outside the law.

3. At the chapters , as my firend mentions more likely short stories , they have a problem on the first of the each one and then holmes ussually based on mind and accompany with watson solves the problems .As you probably know Holmes character us comes out of Doyle's himself teacher Doctor josef bell . and between the 59 shorts stories the supporters call this as the best serie .

4.The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of twelve stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, featuring his famous detective and illustrated by Sidney Paget.

5.These are the first of the Sherlock Holmes short stories, originally published as single stories in the Strand Magazine from July 1891 to June 1892. The book was published in England on October 14, 1892 by George Newnes Ltd and in a US Edition on October 15 by Harper. The initial combined print run was 14,500 copies.

6.The book was banned in the Soviet Union in 1929 for occultism, although the book shows few to no signs of such material. Later, the embargo was lifted.

An example of foreshadowing is the crash of metal Helen heard indicating that something was happening (with the snake) on the night of her sister's death.

At the beginning of the story, it was owned by the Countess of Morcar, but it was stolen by James Ryder at the Hotel Cosmopolitan with the aid of Catherine Cusack. There is no record in the story of anyone "finding" the stone.

Your question is incomplete. Who came in what episode? Several people came to visit Holmes in various episodes.

By his own account, Sherlock Holmes attended university for two years, meaning he had a more than adequate education. The details of his education apart from that are not included in the canon, however, apart from Holmes' statement that his area of study was different from most of the other students.

(My personal theory is that he studied chemistry at Oxford, which is more of a history/English school, as opposed to Cambridge, known for maths and science, but that's just me.)

It's written in one of Arthur Conan Doyle's bibliographies. According to that text, it says that Doyle got bored and sick of Holmes (though I can't think how anybody could be sick of Holmes) and killed him off in the Reichenbach Falls during his fight with Moriarty.

Arthur Conan Doyle tried to kill off Sherlock Holmes when he was writing the original stories in Strand magazine, but public pressure forced him to revive Holmes for more stories.

Wanting to devote more time to his historical novels, Conan Doyle killed off Holmes in "The Final Problem" which was printed in 1893. He resisted Holmes`resurrection for 8 years until he wrote The Hound of the Baskervilles in 1901. However, Hound was set a a time before Holmes``death`at Reichenbach Falls. His survival is revealed in "The Adventure of the Empty House".

In 'The Musgrave Ritual,' Holmes says, "When I first came up to London I had rooms in Montague Street," and in 'The Adventure of the Greek Interpreter,' Holmes said, "My ancestors were country squires." It seems, from these statements, very likely that Holmes came from one of the provinces of England outside of London.

{| |- | Sherlock Holmes becomes good friends with Dr. John Watson. They were introduced by a mutual friend and shared a flat together. Watson chronicled Holmes' adventures, many that he participated in. |}

The last published story was 'The Adventure of Shoscombe Old Place,' which appeared in 1927. In it, Holmes uncovers the scheme of a man who delays reporting of the death of his benefactor in order to retain his position and fortune. The last chronological story was 'His Last Bow,' published in 1917, in which Holmes and Watson go undercover before the beginning of World War I. In 'The Final Problem,' published in 1893, Holmes was supposedly killed by falling into the Reichenbach Falls though the reader later learns that he was still alive and well.

It means "All unknown things for great is/are", or, less literally, "Everything unknown is considered great."

I'm not sure if "est" belongs there or not; most citations of the phrase I'm aware of don't have it and just end after "magnifico".

Well, kind of, Conon Doyle got the idea for the story off of a real English families so called 'curse' and decided to make it a Holmes story. But no, all the events recorded in this epistle are fictitious, aside from the original idea. Despite this fact, one still feels a chill, or turns to look behind ones back as they walk into the night, while reading this book, and even a single dog bark on a dark night came make one feel as if it is real. All this is the mark of a very talented writer, Sir Arthur Conon Doyle, or is it, Dr. John H. Watson? Hum! I wonder? ;)

The mysterious ones ;)

Sherlock was seldom interested in normal police business. He had a very active mind and he liked to use it to solve those cases that seemed impossible to figure out, or very unusual situations.

I know right

There are HUNDREDS of parodies, pastiches, burlesques, travesties, satires, and now fanfiction of Sherlock Holmes not written by Conan Doyle. See the link below.

One of the more famous is a story written by an out of work carpenter named Arthur Whitaker who sent his story to Conan Doyle in hopes of a collaboration. Conan Doyle paid a sum of money for the typewritten manuscript and filed it away then in the 1940's long after Conan Doyle's death it was discovered and published as an actual Sherlock Holmes story. The truth was discovered, and apology printed, but the story remains as a famous pastiche of the great detective.

Well if you want an honest answer it's going to have to be a spoiler. So if you don't want a spoiler don't read any farther... (The murderer, Stapleton, had a dog which he pretended was a ghostly dog from an old fairytale concerning the Baskerville family. Sherlock shot it in the head at the climax of the story and killed it instantly.) Dr. Mortimer's spaniel also dies.
