ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE
Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was a Scottish writer and physician. He is best known for
his creation of Sherlock Holmes - a brilliant London-based detective famous for his logical
thinking and ability to solve difficult cases.
Born in Edinburgh in 1859 into a prosperous family, Doyle was strongly influenced by his
mother, who was a well-educated woman. In his early childhood, she used to tell him vivid
stories which sparked his imagination. The second person who had a great impact on his
writing career was Dr Joseph Bell, a professor at the medical school where Doyle studied
from 1876 to 1881. Dr Bell’s keen powers of observation later inspired Doyle to create his
fictional detective character, Sherlock Holmes.
Doyle’s active life provided him with vivid experiences for his stories. With a great love for
adventure, he would never miss a chance to travel. He took a surgeon’s position on a whaling
ship sailing for the Arctic Circle. He served as a volunteer doctor in the Langman Hospital in
South Africa during the War of Independence in 1900. He also acted as a war journalist
during the First World War.
Doyle’s writing career started during his time at medical school. After graduation, he set up
his own medical practice, which was not very successful initially, so he started writing stories
again while waiting for patients. He wrote 21 novels and more than 150 short stories. He also
published poems, articles, memoirs and plays on various subjects. His most well-known
works are the novels and stories with Sherlock Holmes and the fantasy novel The Lost World,
which were made into successful films.
Doyle died at the age of 71, after a heart attack. In his honour, a statue of him was built in
Crowborough, where he lived for almost 23 years.
