Enter the world of Sherlock Holmes, history's most beloved detective, and explore the reality behind the myth

The World of Sherlock Holmes delves into the fictional detective's storied history to uncover the myths and reality of the era when Holmes emerged--a time of great advances in crime analysis, medicine, and technology, when Scotland Yard was the king of criminal detection. Along with background on Holmes's origin, fans can explore the various portrayals of the deerstalker detective through the years, concluding with BBC's Sherlock;Elementary, which controversially cast a female Watson; and the action-packed Sherlock Holmes films directed by Guy Ritchie.
