He was the second of ten children of Charles Doyle and Mary Foley, In 1885 Conan Doyle seceived a degree in medicine from the University of Edinburgh. He was *309 Joseph Bell, a surgeon at the Edinburgh Infirmary. Much of the character of Sherlock Holmes is based on Joseph Bel, particu his powers of deduction One of Conan Doyle's fist jobs was as a doctor on an Arctic ‘whaler, an experience he enjoyed. He then became a doctor on a . —- ifort ship that travelled to Africa. However, he didnot like ned to England. He started his own doctor's practice in Southsea, eae Portsmouth, Iwas while he was wating for patents to arive hat he ist began writing crime fiction Conan Doyle had many diferent tens; dung his i was a medical doctor a politician spiritualist and of curse, an author. However, he i best known forthe creation ofthe two charaéters we meetin A Sludy in Scarlet, Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson, A Study i Scarlet was the first of many novels and shoet stories based around these two charac they solved together. Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson almost yemed to have a life oftheir own, and overshadowed many of Arthur Conan Doyle's more serious works His first historical novel, Micah Clarke, was Wel exceed but fs now slmost forgotten, Arthur Conan Doyle wanted 1 be recognised and remembered as a erlous author, but the Holmes and Watson novels are what he is mos famous for A Study in Scvet was fis published in Bcton's Christmas Annual in 1867. In 1890 the second Sherlock Holmes novel, The Sign of Four, was published, establishing Holmes and Watson in literary history: Shortly ate, a series of shore storie featuring Sherlock Hi ies and Doctor Watson were published in The Strand magazine, These stories were very succesful, making the author, the characters andthe magazine world famous. Conan Doyle felt that his life was being taken ver by Sherlock Holmes, and in story called “The Final Problem’ he tried to eliminate Sherlock Holmes. Inthe story, the character falls to his death in the Roichenbach Falls, waterfall in Ssitzerland. But, because of theTiying The Stand megane Later, Conan Doyle wrote a new Sherlock Holmes navel, The Hoo ofthe Raster: instead of bringing Sherlock Holmes back to life, he decided to write it a8 if it was an adventure which Iappened before he die, The Sra published the fist eid in 1801; twas a huge sucess Wiile his writing career developed, Conan Dayle marred Lovise Hawkins and hod two children, Maryan Kingsley.
