Dr Gideon Fell is a fictional character created by John Dickson Carr.[1] He is the protagonist of 23 mystery novels from 1933 through 1967, as well as a few short stories. Carr was an American who lived most of his adult life in England; Dr. Fell is an Englishman who lives in the London suburbs.
Dr Fell is supposedly based upon G. K. Chesterton (author of the Father Brown stories),[2] whose physical appearance and personality were similar to those of Doctor Fell.[3]
