WELCOME TO EREZ`S SHERLOCK HOLMES PAGE
Arthur Conan Doyle, the author of Sherlock Holmes, was born on May22nd in Edinburgh. During the years
1876-1891 he studied medicine at the Edinburgh University. After receiving his degree he served
as a ship`s doctor on a voyage to the West African Indies. In 1882 he began to practice medicine
in Plymouth and later moved to Southsea, where his writing career took off. The first Holmes
story, A Study in Scarlet appeared in 1887 in the Beeton`s Christmas Annual, and the Sign of Four
appeared in 1890. In 1889 a non-Holmes novel, Micha Clarke was published. Doyle got married in
in 1885 to Louise Hawkings, and in 1890 he moved to Vienna to study eye medicine. He returned
to London in 1891, but his practice failed and he devoted himself to writing. In July 1891
he began to write a series of Holmes stories for the Strand, beginning with A scandal in
Bohemia. His stories became popular, but eventually he got tired of Holmes, as he wrote to his
mother in 1893: "Holmes takes my mind for better things." Doyle "killed" Holmes in 1894 and
travelled to Egypt in 1895 where he wrote The Tragedy of Korsko. When fighting broke between
the British and the Derwishes, he bacame the war correspondent for the Westminster Gazette.
He returned to London and wrote more novels:Rodney Stone, A duet with an Occasional Chorus,
and Uncle Bernac. In 1900 he sailed to South Africa to serve in an hospital as fighting
broke there. He then wrote the pamphlet The War in South Africa - Case and Conduct, which
resulted in his being knighted in 1902. Holmes was eventually brought back to life in 1903,
and his adventures had been written until 1927. In 1906 Doyle`s wife died, and he was remarried
in 1907 to Jean Leckie. In 1912 another famous hero, professor Challanger was introduced in
the book the Lost World. Professor Challanger appeared later in the Poison Belt. As World War I
broke in 1914 Conan Doyle joined the Volunteer Force, and in 1915 he began writing the six volume
history of The British Campaign in France and Flanders which was completed in 1920. Towards the
end of his life, Doyle took intrest in spiritualism and psychic matters. He died on July 7
1930, shortly after an heart attack.
