Meanwhile, in 1886, he succeeded in creating a figure of Sherlock Holmes, who was inspired by Dr. Joseph Bell, as one of his lecturers.
The first story has the title "A Study in Scarlet" which was successfully accepted by the public so well. However, the fame of the character itself only began in 1891 when he began writing the adventure series Sherlock Holmes along with his own friend, Dr. Watson, in the form of a short story compilation.
