It's Dickens! Now I have to proofread your posts too? :D
Три мушкетера были настоящими историческими персонажами! Правда, все остальное Дюма придумал сам.
(Кстати, ты видел, что мне написала ?
I was browsing in the excellent Capitol Hill Books, which you should check out being as it's in your neck of the woods. I thought I'd curl up with a Sherlock Holmes, so I looked in the mysteries under D. Nothing. No Sherlock Holmes? Impossible. Maybe it's under C, since he is, after all, usually referred to as Conan Doyle, not Doyle? Nope. I asked a staff member. "It's under H, for Holmes." "But-- but-- it's alphabetical by author!" Yeah, well, apparently people look under Holmes, so they put the books there.
I would think if you're going to accept the Holmes myth that completely, the letter to look under would be W. In any case, it's clear that Holmes is realer to many (most?) people than is his creator.)
