Most people (including me) will tell you Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, writer of Sherlock Holmes.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created the character Sherlock Holmes, known for his incredible powers of deduction and sleuthing abilities. Holmes has become one of the most famous and enduring characters in detective fiction.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote four Sherlock Holmes novels and fifty six short stories. "The Hound of the Baskervilles" was the third Sherlock Holmes novel. Each of the other novels have two parts, the first part is where Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson work out the clues to track down the criminal(s) and the second part explains the back story of why the criminal(s) did what they did and does not feature Sherlock Holmes until the very end. "The Hound of the Baskervilles" is different because it does not have this second part (which are widely seen as slow and boring) and so flows better than the other novels. This is why "The Hound of the Baskervilles" is viewed as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's best Sherlock Holmes novel. Um, "The Sign of Four" is in one part.
Wikipedia has this information: "The 'Sherlock Holmes' name was derived from a pair of cricketers � however some early notes give his name as Sherrinford Holmes. "Holmes" was named after Oliver Wendell Holmes, whom Conan Doyle admired, and an English cricketer named Sherlock." Doyle mentioned he chose the name SHerlock Holmes from a dentist practicing in London at the time. Now I guess I'll have to find a citation.... *heavy sigh*
Yes, Arthur Conan Doyle can be compared with Charles Dickens as both were influential British authors of the 19th and early 20th centuries. While Doyle is best known for creating the iconic character Sherlock Holmes in detective fiction, Dickens is famous for his social commentary and vivid characters in novels like "Oliver Twist" and "Great Expectations." Both authors have left a lasting impact on literature and continue to be studied and celebrated today.
The best thing you could do is find an expert at a local bookstore or hobby shop. There are many factors involved in valuing any collectible. Factors include: what the book is, condition of the book, authenticity of the signature, etc. I just saw a limited, numbered, and signed Conan Doyle book on Abe Books for $11,000, but yours may be worth $11. It is just not possible to value it here.
