Sir Arthur Conam Doyle (1859-1930) was a Scotish doctor who inherited the love for writing books from his mother. His first story was published when he was twenty. He is best known for his Sherlock Holmes stories. He modelled the character of Sherlock Holmes on his former professor. Apart from stories and novels on crime, he wrote historical novels, romances and plays.
