Arthur Conan Doyle

Overview

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle (22 May 1859 – 7 July 1930) was a British writer and physician. He created the character Sherlock Holmes in 1887 for A Study in Scarlet, the first of four novels and fifty-six short stories about Holmes and Dr. Watson. The Sherlock Holmes stories are milestones in the field of crime fiction.

Doyle was a prolific writer. In addition to the Holmes stories, his works include fantasy and science fiction stories about Professor Challenger, humorous stories about the Napoleonic soldier Brigadier Gerard, plays, romances, poetry, nonfiction, and historical novels. One of Doyle's early short stories, "J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement" (1884), helped popularise the mystery of the brigantine Mary Celeste, found drifting at sea with no crew member aboard.
