Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was a British writer best known for his creation of the iconic detective Sherlock Holmes. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Doyle studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh, where he began to write short stories. His literary career was initially a way to supplement his income, but he would come to achieve immense fame through his works of fiction, particularly the Sherlock Holmes series. His ingenious detective, Holmes, first appeared in ‘A Study in Scarlet’ (1887), and subsequently in four novels and fifty-six short stories, all capturing the imagination of a global audience. These works are masterfully collected in ‘Arthur Conan Doyle: The Complete Sherlock Holmes Books’ (The Giants of Literature – Book 18), offering readers an all-encompassing look at his most famous character’s adventures. Doyle’s writing is marked by intricately plotted mysteries, evocative Victorian settings, and the keen observational skills of his protagonist. Beyond the world of detective fiction, Doyle penned historical novels, science fiction, plays, romances, and poetry. His non-Sherlockian work, however, has not achieved the same enduring popularity. Doyle was knighted in 1902 for his services during the Boer War and his strong advocacy of the British cause. His literary legacy endures, with Sherlock Holmes remaining a symbol of sharp wit and forensic science, continually adapted for modern audiences.
