Dr. Joseph Bell was Arthur Conan Doyle's medical school professor at the University of Edinburgh, renowned for his diagnostic prowess and ability to deduce patients' occupations and recent activities from minute details.

Only two Sherlock Holmes stories are narrated by Holmes himself rather than Dr. Watson: 'The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier' and 'The Adventure of the Lion's Mane', both from the collection 'The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes' (1927). Doyle experimented with first-person narration from Holmes' perspective in these late stories. Most other stories, including 'A Scandal in Bohemia' and 'The Adventure of the Speckled Band', use Watson as the narrator.

Two Sherlock Holmes stories use third-person narration rather than Watson's first-person perspective: 'The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone' and 'His Last Bow'. 'His Last Bow' (1917) is subtitled 'The War Service of Sherlock Holmes' and uses third-person to depict Holmes in an espionage context during World War I. 'The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone' was adapted from a one-act play. Most canonical stories, including 'The Boscombe Valley Mystery', are first-person Watson narratives.
