About the Author

About The Author
Arthur Conan Doyle was a British author and doctor. In 1887, he invented the character Sherlock Holmes for A Study in Scarlet, the first of four books and fifty-six short tales featuring Holmes and Dr. Watson. The Sherlock Holmes stories are seminal works of criminal fiction. Doyle was a prolific writer; in addition to Sherlock Holmes stories, he wrote fantasy and science fiction stories about Professor Challenger, funny stories about Napoleonic soldier Brigadier Gerard, plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction, and historical novels. One of Doyle's early short stories, "J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement" (1884), contributed to the popularity of the Mary Celeste mystery. Doyle was born on May 22, 1859, at 11 Picardy Place in Edinburgh, Scotland. His father, Charles Altamont Doyle, was born in England and is of Irish Catholic origin, while his mother, Mary (née Foley), is Irish Catholic. His parents got married in 1855. Charles's developing alcoholism caused the family to separate in 1864, and the children were temporarily placed throughout Edinburgh. Arthur lived with Mary Burton, a friend's aunt, at Liberton Bank House on Gilmerton Road while attending Newington Academy.
