About the Author

With the success of his Sherlock Holmes stories, Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) abandoned his career as a physician and devoted himself to writing. In addition to 56 short stories and four novels starring the famous sleuth, Doyle wrote historical novels, plays, poetry, and nonfiction.
