No, Sherlock Holmes is fictional. He is the literary invention of British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (22 May 1859 – 7 July 1930). However, many readers believe Holmes is real. If you visit The Sherlock Holmes Museum – located at 221B Baker Street, London, England – you will discover thousands of letters from all over the world, begging Holmes and Watson for help with everything from divorces to missing persons.
