Over his life he has produced more than thirty books, 150 short stories, poems, plays and essays across a wide range of genres.

In 1893 Conan Doyle published 'The Final Problem' in which he killed off his famous detective so that he could turn his attention to historical fiction. However Holmes was so popular that Conan Doyle eventually relentedand published The Hound of the Baskervilles in 1901.
