Do the names Mycroft and Sherlock occur anywhere else in literature, other than the works of A. Conan-Doyle?

Answer 1

Yes, there is a series of books by an author named Laurie R. King, and they feature a character named Mary Russell who meets and befriends Mr. Sherlock Holmes.

She also has the occasion to meet Mycroft, Dr. Watson, Mrs. Hudson, and even Lestrade.

Holmes, his brother Mycroft, and Dr. Watson also make an appearance in a novel based on the British television series "Doctor Who".

The title is "An All-Consuming Fire" from Virgin Publishing.

Answer 2

Yes, for example there is a trilogy by Bruce Coville where the AI they're making is "Operation Sherlock." It's a conscious deriviative, though.

I'm sure if you looked through enough of the Victorian equivalent of airport novels, you would find a couple more Sherlocks and Mycrofts.

Answer 3

Ther are a number of mystery and fantasy series and individual novels that features the name of Sherlock Holmes; however, Conan-Doyle was the first and everything else is based off of his work.
