Arthur Conan Doyle was born on May, 22nd in 1859 in Edinburgh.
Charles Doyle, his father, illustrated the first adventure of Sherlock Holmes but he sank into alcoholism.
In 1876, Arthur began studying medicine and met Professor Joseph Bell. Conan Doyle dedicated his Sherlock Holmes’s adventures to him because Bell was his model for Sherlock Holmes.
He published his first Sherlock Holmes story in 1886 and the second one in 1890.
In 1893, he published “The Last Problem” in which Sherlock Holmes died because Conan didn’t want to write detective stories anymore.
In 1902, he published “The Hound of the Baskervilles” to bring his hero, Sherlock Holmes, back to life.
Arthur Conan Doyle died in 1930.
