Robert Barr: a famous Scottish-Canadian writer and journalist, born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1849. Most of his literary production was in the field of crime literature, which was popular in his time. With the fame of "Sherlock Holmes" stories at that time, Barr wrote "The Adventures of Sherlo Combs", the first parody of Holmes. He is the author of many well-known story collections, such as: “Revenge!” and “The Successes of Eugene Valmont”, and others. It is said that the character of the famous detective "Eugene Valmont", which was created by Barr, and woven in the pattern of the character of Sherlock Holmes, was the inspiration for the "Christie Agathe" character. Barr died in 1912 of heart disease in Woldingham, England.
