"The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor" is one of the 56 short Sherlock Holmes stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and is the seventh story in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

Also included in this book are biographical notes on the life of the author, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) started to write as a doctor, whilst waiting for patients to arrive. Sherlock Holmes first appeared in A Study in Scarlet (1887). The Holmes stories soon attracted such a following that Conan Doyle felt the character overshadowed his other work. In The Final Problem (1893) Conan Doyle killed him off, but was obliged by public demand to restore the detective to life.
