Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles (1920), introduced the world to problably her most famous and beloved creation, Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, and The Mousetrap, first performed in 1952, is the world's longest-running play. Her books have sold over two billion copies—one billion in English and another billion in over 100 foreign languages—making her the best-selling novelist of all time. In 1971, she was appointed a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) for her contributions to literature. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859—1930) was born in Edinburgh, where he qualified as a doctor before going on to create Sherlock Holmes, one of the most vivid and enduring characters in English fiction. Holmes, whose talent for deduction was modelled on the skill of Doyle's professor, Dr. Joseph Bell, first appeared in the full-length novel, A Study in Scarlet, in 1887. While Doyle wrote other works of fiction and non-fiction, none of those captured the public's imagination in the same way as consulting detective Sherlock Holmes and his friend and chronicler, Dr. John Watson, who have become one of the most well-known detective duos in literature.
