Short biography
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh to Irish parents and studied medicine. He began writing while he waited for his private practice as an eye doctor to grow and, with 1887's A Study in Scarlet, created Sherlock Holmes, one of the most famous literary characters of all time. He was a volunteer physician in the Boer War and wrote multiple books on spiritualism.

He was a noted campaigner against injustice, particularly with respect of George Edalji and Oscar Slater, two men he believed had been convicted of crimes they did not commit.

Although he is chiefly remembered for his Sherlock Holmes stories, he turned his hand to historical novels, gothic fiction and much else.
