who penned the famous words "Elementary, my dear Watson!"in his novels?

Answer 1

No one. It never actually appeared in the novels.

Meaning

The supposed explanation that Sherlock Holmes gave to his assistant, Dr. Watson, when explaining deductions he had made

Origin

In fact the line doesn't appear in the Conan Doyle books, only later in Sherlock Holmes' films.

He does come rather close at a few of points. Holmes says "Elementary" in 'The Crooked Man', and "It was very superficial, my dear Watson, I assure you" in 'The Cardboard Box'. He also says "Exactly, my dear Watson, in three different stories.

Answer 2

Nobody penned it in a novel. Defnitely not Conan Doyle. Apparently the words "Elementary, my dear Watson" are not in the novels. The phrase was most probably made up as a script for some of the Sherlock Holmes movies.

Answer 3

The writer Sir Author Conan Doyle never put those words into the mouth of Holmes. It is believed that they were later added when some of the stories were put into film form. It seems that in the 1929 film 'The Return of Sherlock Holmes' was the first reference to this statement. The stage actor William Gillette is often credited with the first utterance of a slightly longer version of the phrase, 'Oh, this is elementery my dear Watson'

Answer 4

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle penned the words uttered by Sherlock Holmes.

Answer 5

In Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's books about his famous character Sherlock Holmes, the great Detective, and his sidekick Dr. Watson, Doctor Watson never ceased to be amazed by Sherlock Holmes' skilful deductive abilities, so he would often ask him "My Dear Holmes, how did you possibly come to that conclusion?" Holmes would always smile and say "It was elementary, my dear Watson" That was, of course, one of the standard forms of polite address back in those Victorian times. lol.

Answer 6

Arthur Conan Doyle, in the Sherlock Holmes series.

Answer 7

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Answer 8

I suspect you're asking a trick question - there may well be a writer who uses this phrase, but it is not Arthur Conan Doyle. He never used this exact phrase, rather like how on Star Trek no one ever said "Beam me up Scotty". See http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/elementary-my-dear-watson.html for more information.

Answer 9

Aurther Connan Doyle

Answer 10

Arther C Doyle
