English Writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

born in Edinburgh, in Scotland. He studied medicine and worked as a doctor for eight years. Then he started writing in order to earn more money, and soon people were reading his stories in weekly magazines.

Study in Scarlet (1887), Sherlock Holmes appeared for the first time – a strange, coldly, intelligent detective, who smokes a pipe, plays the violin, and lives at 221B Baker Street in London. He can find the answer to almost any problem, and enjoys explaining how easy it is to his slow-thinking friend, Dr. Watson. Readers began to show great interest in Holmes when The Sign of Four was published in 1890, and short stories about him, in The Strand Magazine, were very popular.

The White Company(1891), and he soon became bored with the Sherlock Holmes character. So, in The Final Problem(1893) he killed him off, when Holmes and his famous enemy, Moriarty , fell to their deaths in the Reichenbach Falls. But because people kept asking for more stories about Holmes, Conan Doyle, rather unwillingly, had to bring him back to life, in one of his most exciting and popular stories, The Hound of the Baskervilles(1902)
