About the Author:
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was a Scottish author and physician best known for creating the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes. Educated in medicine at the University of Edinburgh, Doyle turned to writing during his spare time, eventually gaining fame with his first Holmes novel, A Study in Scarlet (1887). Over the years, he wrote four novels and 56 short stories featuring Holmes and his loyal companion, Dr. Watson. While Doyle wrote in many genres—including science fiction, historical fiction, and nonfiction—his detective stories became cultural icons, shaping the modern mystery genre. Despite his desire to move beyond Holmes, public demand kept the character alive. Doyle was knighted in 1902 for his literary contributions and other public efforts.
