Arthur Conan Doyle’s short stories about Sherlock Holmes nearly doubled the magazine’s circulation, and Doyle became rich. Other magazines searched for tales with the same kind of appeal.

For more than a century, readers, writers, actors, scholars, filmmakers, and devoted fans have carried the Great Detective far beyond the fogbound streets of Victorian London.
