After a couple of years Arthur Conan Doyle become tired of his creation and let Sherlock Holmes fall down from a cliff to a certain death.
The presasuer from the readers was enormus and Arthur Conan Doyle gave after for the preasure.
He thought that when Sherlock Holmes was out of the way he could focus on more important things than the writing about Holmes.
He wrote books about the Boerwar where he was serving as a doctor, he was also involved in the spiritism, beliving he and others could talk to spirits, mostley by a seans.
In 1902 Conan Doyle heard the story that is the base of the story of Baskervilles dog, and the intrest in writing about Sherlock Holmes arised once again.
But he wanted this to be the last story, so he preteneded that it was written years before Sherlock Holmes fell to his death.
But then in 1903 Conan Doyle had to give in, it turned out that Holmes had spent the time after the fall had been hiding in a secret location about ten years.
On the 7th of July 1930 Arthur Conan Doyle closed his eyes for ever.
Sherlock is the second ”person” in the world that gets most letters, number one on that list is Santa Claus.
There is many people that thinks that Sherlock Holmes and Doctor watson has been living persons, which is not the case, but the fire in open fireplace on Baker Street 221 B will sparkle for many years from now.
