Arthur Conan Doyle, a famous British writer was born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1859. He got his popularity for his creation of the detective Sherlock Holmes, one of the most vivid characters in English fiction.
Conan Doyle was brought up in a big family. He was the second of 10 children. When he turned nine years old he began his education in Lancashire, England. After an additional year of schooling in Feldkirch, Austria, Conan Doyle returned to Edinburgh. After that he decided to enter the University of Edinburgh’s Medical School. He received Bachelor of Medicine and Master of Surgery qualifications from Edinburgh in 1881.
While a medical student, Conan Doyle was deeply impressed by the skill of his professor, Dr. Joseph Bell, in observing the most minute detail regarding a patient’s condition. This master of diagnostic deduction became the model for Conan Doyle’s literary creation, Sherlock Holmes, who first appeared in A Study in Scarlet, a story published in Beeton’s Christmas Annual of 1887.
Conan Doyle managed to create the “world’s first and only consulting detective,” who was logical, cold, and calculating. Driven by the public, Conan Doyle continued writing Sherlock Holmes adventures. His short stories were collected in several volumes, and he also wrote novels (e.g., The Hound of the Baskervilles).
