And yet, through his work, the science behind catching criminals became so important that it's hard now to imagine the world without them. Many famous great detectives followed in Holmes's footsteps, but before they began their careers - and while Holmes was still in practice in Baker Street - another London consultant, Dr John Thorndyke, opened his doors using the scientific methods of Holmes.

In a literary career of almost 50 years, Mary E. Wilkins Freeman (1852 - 1930) wrote 15 collections of short stories, 16 novels, one play, and eight volumes of prose and poetry for children.
