The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes is a book by

Sherlock Holmes scholarship,[1][2] as well as a cornerstone of the study of Sherlockiana.[1][3][4] It has been credited with jumpstarting the creation of Sherlockian Societies.[5] It has been used as an inspiration and a reference for "biographies" of Sherlock Holmes such as Nick Rennison's 2005 Sherlock Holmes: The Unauthorized Biography.[6]
