Most people today know who Arthur Conan Doyle was, even if they have not read any of his works. In Sherlock Holmes, he created one of the most celebrated fictional detectives of all time. Sherlock Holmes had become so famous that when, in 1893, A C Doyle killed the character of Sherlock Holmes, the Strand Magazine – which printed the Sherlock Holmes stories – lost thousands of subscribers.
One may, therefore, wonder, why did A C Doyle kill Sherlock Holmes – the character that won him a place in the hearts of millions of people across the boundaries of space and time.
