Scottish-born writer Arthur Conan Doyle is forever associated with his world-famous creation—erudite London detective Sherlock Holmes. A physician by training, Conan Doyle began penning fiction in earnest during the 1880s, eventually garnering attention with A Study in Scarlet, the first novel to feature the uncannily perceptive Holmes. Although Conan Doyle wrote extensively outside of the Holmes series, including the adventure book The Lost World, his fame remains closely tied to the beloved sleuth.
