Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) - Inspired by Sir Walter Scott, Robert Louis Stevenson, Edgar Allan Poe, Guy De Maupassant, and Emile Gaboriau, Arthur Conan Doyle’s now iconic mastermind sleuth and his companion Dr. John H. Watson redefined the detective genre. Conan Doyle’s medical training under Dr. Joseph Bell was the foundation for Holmes’s methods of deductive reasoning.

He wrote many other notable fiction and non-fiction works including The Stark Monro Letters (1895), The Exploits of Brigadier Gerard (1896), The Hound Of The Baskervilles (1902), The Lost World (1912), The Coming Of The Fairies (1922), and Memories and Adventures (1924-30), many of which have been translated to dozens of languages and are still in print today.
