Fictional character whose adventures in mystery with Dr. Watson and the Inspector were written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Holmes' fictional address was 221B Baker Street.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born in 1859 in Edinburgh, Scotland. He was a doctor by trade; optician more specifically. It is rumored that during his off periods of work he would think about and write his various stories. He is well known for several science fiction works, but of course his most recognizable works are the Sherlock Holmes mysteries. He died in 1930.
He tried desperately to "kill off" Holmes so that he could pursue other genres of writing as well, and not just be known for the Holmes mysteries. However, after much public outcry, Holmes returned in "The Empty House" and in many other stories following, up to the "Case Book of Sherlock Holmes" collection.

Fictional
Invented by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
This is a brief biography of Sherlock Holmes-The Detective created by the writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Sherlock Holmes was born around 1854-son of a country Squire, Grand-Son of the Sister of the artist Vernet.
Holmes has an Older brother-Mycroft, who also is something of a detective-assisting in a few of Holmes's cases.
Holmes-his Physical appearance.
Holmes is tall and thin-he himself claims to be 6ft tall-but his friend Watson claims he is over 6ft.
He has black hair and grey eyes, thin lips and 'a hawk-like' nose.
Holmes has a strident voice.
Although Holmes has never excercised for the fun of it, he is always fit and ready for the action that takes place in the stories, and is ready to see off
his attackers with either boxing or Baritsu-a form of martial art. He is also proficient at single-stick and fencing.

Are you serious???????
He is fictional. The statue outside Baker Street is based on a discription of a fictional character, his "house" is a museum to a fictional character (but a real address, it used to be a bank!) and it is VERY amusing to see Americans and other tourists go totally gaga for all things Holmes!

Is a fictional character but I believe the author based him on a real life doctor from Scotland.
