Who Is Enola Holmes and Why Didn't We Know Sherlock Had a Sister? Here's Your Answer

If you're rereading some of the old Holmes stories to find Enola, you're on a futile seach: Enola Holmes is not part of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's original series of Sherlock Holmes mysteries. She's actually the creation of Nancy Springer, an American author who penned The Enola Holmes Mysteries series of young adult mystery novels from 2006 to 2010.

Enola Holmes isn't the first time that a modern Sherlock Holmes adaptation has introduced a secret sister for the Holmes brothers, however. In the BBC series Sherlock, which lifts the action to present-day London, a major late-series twist involves the introduction of Eurus Holmes, an"evil" sibling positioned as even more brilliant than her brothers.

The movie is already coming under fire from the Conan Doyle estate, but, surprisingly, it's not the introduction of a non-Doyle character they have a problem with! According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Conan Doyle Estate is suing the film over - wait for it - depicting Sherlock Holmes as having emotions. Although the estate lost the copyright to most Holmes stories in a 2014 lawsuit, they retain the copyright for Doyle's final 10 stories, written between 1923 and 1927.
