Portrait

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was a British writer born on 22 May 1859 in Edinburgh, Scotland. He created the character of Sherlock Holmes, a master detective, in 1887. The first of the four novels, A Study in Scarlet, was published in the same year. He wrote more than fifty stories about the adventures of Holmes and Dr Watson. Sir Conan Doyle wrote both in the fantasy as well as science fiction genre. He was a prolific writer whose works include romances, poetry, plays, non-fiction and historical stories. The Mystery of Cloomber (1888) was one of his earliest novels. Many short stories like The Captain of the Pole-Star and J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement were inspired by Doyle's time spent at sea. His best work, written between 1888-1906, consists of seven historical novels. Doyle also wrote many stories featuring the scientist Professor Challenger. He died of heart attack on 7 July 1930. He was 71. He continues to be remembered as the creator of the master sleuth.
