Arthur Conan Doyle

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was a Scottish-born British writer and physician best known for creating the detective Sherlock Holmes, featured in four novels and fifty-six short stories that became milestones in crime fiction.[1][4] He studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh, where his professor Dr. Joseph Bell inspired the character of Holmes, and later practiced as a doctor before devoting himself fully to writing, including works like The Lost World.[2][3][4] In later years, he promoted Spiritualism through books and died of a heart attack in Crowborough, England.[5]
