Bio
Arthur Conan Doyle was a British author who created Sherlock Holmes—the brilliant detective who appears in four novels and fifty-six short stories and whose methods helped define modern crime fiction. A prolific and versatile writer, he produced adventure and science‑fiction tales (notably the Professor Challenger stories, including The Lost World), witty Napoleonic sketches starring Brigadier Gerard, acclaimed historical novels such as The White Company and Sir Nigel, as well as plays, poetry and non‑fiction. Though famously ambivalent about his most famous creation, Holmes made Doyle one of the era’s most popular and highly paid writers and launched a vast legacy of adaptations and pastiches. Doyle’s genre‑spanning imagination and narrative craftsmanship have secured his place as a formative and enduring figure in popular literature.
