RInspiration for the character of HolmesDoyle said that the character of Holmes was inspired by Dr. Joseph Bell, for whom Doyle had worked as a clerk at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. Like Holmes, Bell was noted for drawing large conclusions from the smallest observations.[1] Sir Henry Little-John, Lecturer on Forensic Medicine and Public Health at the Royal College of Surgeons, is also cited as a source for Holmes. Little-John served as Police Surgeon and Medical Officer of Health to the City of Edinburgh, Scotland, providing for Doyle a link between medical investigation and the detection of crime.Sherlock Holmes is a fictional detective created by Scottish author and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. A brilliant London-based "consulting detective", Holmes is famous for his astute logical reasoning, his ability to take almost any disguise, and his forensic science skills to solve difficult cases.Holmes, who first appeared in publication in 1887, was featured in four novels and 56 short stories. The first story, A Study in Scarlet, appeared in Beeton's Christmas Annual in 1887 and the second, The Sign of the Four, in Lippincott's Monthly Magazine in 1890. The character grew tremendously in popularity with the beginning of the first series of short stories in Strand Magazine in 1891; further series of short stories and two novels published in serial form appeared between then and 1927. The stories cover a period from around 1880 up to 1907, with a final case in 1914.All but four stories are narrated by Holmes's friend and biographer, Dr. John H. Watson; two are narrated by Holmes himself ("The Blanched Soldier" and "The Lion's Mane") and two others are written in the third person ("The Mazarin Stone" and "His Last Bow"). In two stories ("The Musgrave Ritual" and "The Gloria Scott"), Holmes tells Watson the main story from his memories, while Watson becomes the narrator of the frame story. The first and fourth novels, A Study in Scarlet and The Valley of Fear, each include a long interval of omniscient narration recounting events unknown both to Holmes and to Watson.

RNick from The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald - An amazing narrator.Parker from The Bermudez Triangle by Maureen Johnson - He is loyal, he is friendly, and he is hilarious.Alice from Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll and Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery would have been my friends when I was little.

RAlthough almost each story has it's own adventure but it's better to read it in original order , yet there are some stories that they must be read by order (like adventure of final problem and adventure of empty house)Follow this order:A STUDY IN SCARLET (1887)THE SIGN OF THE FOUR (1890)THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMESA Scandal in Bohemia, 1891 (I., II., III.)The Red-headed League, 1891A Case of Identity, 1891The Boscombe Valley Mystery, 1891The Five Orange Pips, 1891The Man with the Twisted Lip, 1891The Blue Carbuncle, 1892The Speckled Band, 1892The Engineer's Thumb, 1892The Noble Bachelor, 1892The Beryl Coronet, 1892The Copper Beeches, 1892THE MEMOIRS OF SHERLOCK HOLMESSilver Blaze, 1892The Yellow Face, 1893The Stock-Broker's Clerk, 1893The "Gloria Scott", 1893The Musgrave Ritual, 1893The Reigate Puzzle, 1893The Crooked Man, 1893The Resident Patient, 1893The Greek Interpreter, 1893The Naval Treaty, 1893The Final Problem, 1893THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES (1901)THE RETURN OF SHERLOCK HOLMESThe Empty House, 1903The Norwood Builder, 1903The Dancing Men, 1903The Solitary Cyclist, 1903The Priory School, 1904The Adventure of Black Peter, 1904Charles Augustus Milverton, 1904The Six Napoleons, 1904The Three Students, 1904The Golden Pince-Nez, 1904The Missing Three-Quarter, 1904The Abbey Grange, 1904The Second Stain, 1904THE VALLEY OF FEAR (1914)HIS LAST BOWThe Cardboard Box, 1893The Adventure of Wisteria Lodge, 1908Ch I.

RThere does not appear to have been an adaptation of this particular story although the early TV adaptations often mixed plots so it is possible that elements from it have been used.

R1972 was a far superior year with Gordie Howe, Jean Beliveau, Bernie Geoffrion, Harry Holmes, and Hooley Smith in my opinion
