Can you solve the mystery?

Sherlock Holmes is arguably the most memorable character in literary history, yet one of the least relatable. He is haughty, pedantic and a genius! The embodiment of the rational mind. He has managed to fascinate the world since his story was first published in 1887. But how did he come to be?
