Robert Barr (1850-1912) was born in Glasgow, Scotland and taken to Canada when he was four. He grew up in Toronto and became a reporter in Detroit. In 1881 he moved to England and became an editor. He established The Idler with Jerome K Jerome in 1892, and wrote many short stories. He used the Luke Sharp pseudonym for parodying Sherlock Holmes under the name 'Sherlow Kombs'. His best-known mystery stories feature the French adventurer Eugene Valmont.
