About the author
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh in 1859 and
died in 1930. Within those years was crowded a variety of activity and creative
work that made him an international figure and inspired the French to give him
the epithet 'the good giant'. He was the nephew of 'Dickie Doyle' the artist,
and was educated at Stonyhurst, and later studied medicine at Edinburgh
University, where the methods of diagnosis of one of the professors provided
the idea for the methods of deduction used by Sherlock Holmes.
He set up as a doctor at Southsea and it was while waiting
for patients that he began to write. His growing success as an author enabled
him to give up his practice and turn his attention to other subjects. He was a
passionate advocate of many causes, ranging from divorce law reform and the
Channel Tunnel to the issuing of inflatable life-jackets to sailors. He also
campaigned to prove the innocence of individuals, and his work on the Edjalji
case was instrumental in the introduction of the Court of Criminal Appeal. He
was a volunteer physician in the Boer War and later in life became a convert to
spiritualism.
His greatest achievement was, of course, his creation of
Sherlock Holmes, who soon attained international status and constantly
distracted him from his other work; at one time Conan Doyle killed him but was
obliged by public protest to restore him to life. And in his creation of Dr
Watson, Holmes's companion in adventure and chronicler, Conan Doyle produced
not only a perfect foil for Holmes but also one of the most famous narrators in
fiction. Penguin publish all the books about the great detective, A Study in
