Arthur Conan Doyle will always be known for his protagonist's detective skills rather than his own literary talents. There are characters like this in the world of books which outgrow their own creators just like Frankenstein's monster though all may not be so monstrous. While I was reading the novel 'Beyond the city' I understood how much little we see beyond the pipe smoking Holmes when assessing Doyle. It could do with the phenomenal success and popularity of the reclusive which have enthralled many a reader.
