About Arthur Conan Doyle
British writer and physician
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was a British writer and physician. He is best known for creating Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, whose stories became landmarks in crime fiction, and for The Lost World, the 1912 novel that helped name a branch of speculative fiction. Beyond those works, he wrote more than 200 stories and articles, along with four volumes of poetry and several stage pieces. He was knighted by King Edward VII in the 1902 Coronation Honours.
