Sherlock Holmes Short Stories

While you wait for Noiser’s next Sherlock Holmes instalment, The Sign of Four, we thought you might enjoy this taster episode from one of our sister podcasts.

Short History Of... is a weekly podcast hosted by John Hopkins that transports you back in time to witness history’s most incredible moments and remarkable people.

This episode is about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the man behind Sherlock Holmes. As well as bringing one of literature’s most legendary fictional characters to life, he was also a doctor, war volunteer, campaigner for justice, politician, and believer in the spirit world.

In his lifetime, he wrote ghost stories, political pamphlets, historical novels, and fantastical adventures.

But how did a young medical student from Edinburgh end up transforming crime fiction forever? What drove him to kill off - and then resurrect - the character who made his name? And why did a man of science and reason spend so many years pursuing the supernatural?
