“Like the air we breathe, Sherlock Holmes is everywhere. His pipe-smoking, deer stalkered image peers at us from ads in Yellow Pages, to signs for neighbourhood crime-watch; from billboards to the classroom; from film and television to the public library, and now over the Internet. He long ago transcended the boundaries of 19th Century London to become an international best-seller and has been accepted as part of British folklore. Holmes is alive to millions.”
A brilliant London-based “consulting detective”, Sherlock Holmes is famous for his intellectual prowess and is renowned for his skillful use of astute observation, deductive reasoning and inference to solve difficult cases.
Of all the literary figures created since William Caxton printed the first book in English in 1474, Sherlock Holmes is surely the most widely recognisable. This timeless character appeals to all ages and all races and the degree to which he is accepted into near folklore around the world is well documented. The brilliant, descriptive stories, written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle which have been translated into hundreds of languages, are now taught in many schools across the globe, in Japan, USA and Europe they from part of the national curriculum; their presence helps to ensure the continuation of Holmes’s place in popular culture for generations to come, creating prehaps the greatest literary brand opportunity of all time. Trademark Notice: © 2009 The Sherlock Holmes Company.

The much-hyped movie starring Robert Downey Jr. as Sherlock Holmes (with Jude Law as Watson and Rachel McAdams as the love interest) opened across North America on Christmas Day. Did I see it on opening day? I did not — the theatre here in Waterloo was full! Reports from preview showings were positive, and as I read Twitter tonight I’m seeing enthusiastic comments much like those ankle-deep congratulatory telegrams that are mentioned in “The Reigate Squires”. I hope to see the film soon, and I expect to enjoy it . . . but I assure you, it’s not going to change my fundamental idea of Sherlock Holmes, which is based on the original stories and the best movie screen of all: my imagination. Meanwhile.
