Arthur Conan Doyle

1859 - 1930

Scottish born and raised, Sir. Arthur Conan Doyle will be best remembered for his creation of that detective extraordinaire, Sherlock Holmes.

In order to supplement his meagre earnings as a medical practitioner, he turned to writing. Doyle�s first piece appeared in �Chambers Journal� while his first book was serialized. This series on the detective escapades of Sherlock Holmes and his faithful side-kick, Dr. Watson, (The Sign of Four 1890; The Hound of Baskervilles 1902) captured his readers imagination so much that when Doyle tried to kill of Holmes, he had to revive him in a follow up story.

He earned a knighthood in 1902 for his pamphlet �The War in South Africa� - he served as a physician in the 2^nd Boer War. He also wrote on spiritualism and historical romances �Micah Clarke� (1887).
