Perhaps the most famous detective ever created; over 100 years since the first book, this analytical genius is still being portrayed on our screens. The canon of Sherlock Holmes consists of the 56 short stories (in collections - The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, His Last Bow, and The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes) and four novels (A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of the Four, The Hound of the Baskervilles, and The Valley of Fear).
