Conan Doyle found the inspiration for the name of his famous detective elsewhere, though. He was an expect cricket player and combined the names of two other well-known players, Shacklock and Sherwin, to make the name "Sherlock".

　　Another thing that makes the character seem like a real person is his distinctive habits. He rarely ate breakfast and he enjoyed smoking. He even had a habit that would be illegal today-taking cocaine.

　　Sherlock Holmes is also an honorary member of the Royal Society of Chemistry. Even though he's not a real person, the society decided to make him a member. Although his famous methods for solving mysteries started in fiction, many of them became part of modern-day policing.

　　Although the character is made-up, most of the locations are real. One of Conan Doyle's strengths as an author is describing a London that seems so real to the reader. Most of the famous locations in the books are in London and Sherlock Holmes fans love to visit the locations in the books and those used later in the movies.

　　Sherlock Holmes is the second most represented character in movies, which is part of what makes him so famous all over the world. So, now what's your favourite version of the Sherlock Holmes stories? The books, movies or TV series?
