Sherlock Holmes is so popular that he is practically ineligible to be himself. Everyone thinks he knows Sherlock Holmes, but our opinions about him are shaped by countless interpretations of the original. For example, arthur Conan Doyle's works never mentioned a hunting hat and a pipe.

Holmes belongs to that select group of characters such as Dracula, Peter Pan, Harry Potter, who exist outside their works. The idea of this book - to go back to the beginning and consider what Sherlock Holmes conceived at the beginning, because everything from the personal qualities of Holmes and Watson to the history of the publications of the works themselves, is in itself a mysterious detective story .
