ABOUT THE AUTHOR

About the Author: Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was an exceptionally gifted storyteller. While studying at the University of Edinburgh Medical School from 1876, he started writing. After graduating in 1881, he worked as a surgeon on the steamer Mayumba, traveling to the West African coast. Doyle's most notable achievement was creating the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes and penning stories about him, considered milestones in crime fiction. Holmes, known for his keen sense of justice, exposes social injustices and offers a fair approach in an unfair world. As the most renowned fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes holds the Guinness World Record for being the "most portrayed movie character" in history
