Dr. Joseph Bell Sherlock Holmes is a fictional character created by the Scottish writer Arthur Conan Doyle. However, Conan Doyle did model Holmes's methods and mannerisms on those of Dr. Joseph Bell, who had been his professor at the University of Edinburgh Medical School.

Arthur Conan Doyle (1859 – 1930) could have had no idea that he was creating such an enduring icon when his first Sherlock Holmes adventure, the novella A Study in Scarlet, was published in 1887.

All but one are set in the Victorian or Edwardian eras, between about 1880 and 1914.

A Slight Trick of the Mind Bill Condon's film Mr Holmes is based on the 2005 book A Slight Trick of the Mind by US author Mitch Cullin, but Conan Doyle's heirs say it also borrows from later stories by the great Scottish novelist which remain under copyright in the US.
