[QUOTE="darjr, post: 9026601, member: 52905"] Dr. John Eric Holmes wrote the first basic set commonly referred to as the Holmes Basic Set. It started life as an internal reference within TSR and later was produced as the famous box set that started the whole Basic branch of D&D. And also in a twist of irony AD&D! Dr. Holmes was also an author and wrote stories based upon his home game including characters of his children.
