High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Many writers make references to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle`s famous literary creation, the detective Sherlock Holmes, and these often become embedded within popular culture. While Holmes exists predominately in the context of Victorian-era London, he has been mentioned in such outre contexts as the 22nd century or hunting aliens or supernatural enemies. The versions of Holmes usually wear the deer-stalker hat shown only a few in the original Strand pictures, as opposed to the far more common top hat, and frequently they say `Elementary my dear ` to another character.
