Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle


Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was a Scottish writer who rose to literary fame through his creation of the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, he would go on to become one of the most influential mystery writers in history. Unlike some of his contemporaries, he wrote under his own name rather than adopting a pen name. Though born in Scotland, he spent his later years in England, where he passed away in 1930 and was laid to rest in Crowborough, Sussex.
