Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle (22
May 1859 – 7 July 1930) was a British writer and
physician. He created the character Sherlock Holmes in
1887 for A Study in Scarlet, the first of four novels and
fifty-six short stories about Holmes and Dr. Watson.
The Sherlock Holmes stories are considered milestones
in the field of crime fiction.
Doyle was a prolific writer; other than Holmes stories,
his works include fantasy and science fiction stories
about Professor Challenger and humorous stories
about the Napoleonic soldier Brigadier Gerard, as well
as plays,
romances, poetry, non-fiction and historical novels. One of
Doyle's early short stories, "hebakuk jephson statement "
(1884), helped to popularise the mystery of the
Mary Celeste.

2. his mother, Mary was Irish Catholic. His parents married in
1855. In 1864 the family scattered because of Charles's
growing alcoholism, and the children were temporarily
housed across Edinburgh. Arthur lodged with Mary Burton,
the aunt of a friend, at Liberton Bank House on Gilmerton
Road, while studying at Newington Academy.
In 1867, the family came together again and lived in
squalid tenement flats at 3 Sciennes Place. Doyle's
father died in 1893, in the Crichton Royal, Dumfries,
after many years of psychiatric illness. Beginning at an
early age, throughout his life Doyle wrote letters to his
mother, and many of them were preserved.
From 1875 to 1876, he was educated at the Jesuit
school Stella Matutina in Feldkirch, Austria. His
family decided that he would spend a year there in
order to
perfect his German and broaden his academic horizons. He
later rejected the Catholic faith and became
an agnostic. One source attributed his drift away from
religion to the time he spent in the less strict
Austrian school. He also later became a
spiritualistmystic.
