During November 1887, Beeton’s Christmas Annual published a

story entitled A Study in Scarlet that was written by a twenty-eight

year old Southsea-based physician called Dr. Arthur Conan Doyle.  It

was the first of sixty such tales which he wrote over the next forty years

  that each featured the now iconic literary detective, Mr. Sherlock Holmes.

This character has since appeared in some two-hundred and thirty films

making him possibly the most filmed fictional character of all time!
