Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh, 22nd May 1859, to Roman Catholic parents of Irish origin. Educated locally and by the Jesuits at Stonyhurst College, the boy then graduated from Edinburgh University in medicine in 1881. His first short story had been published in Chambers's journal in September 1879, and his first non-fiction in the British medical journal the same month. A crude, unpublished story from this time shows him experimenting with two lead characters, a daring master of arcane scientific perceptions and a down-to-earth narrator inviting audience identification, but it was not until 1886 that the ultimate development of the two types came to life in A Study in scarlet , as the consulting detective Sherlock Holmes and his fellow-lodger Dr Watson. Their brilliant, ironic, infectious dialogue, to be continued over fifty six short stories and four novels in all, originally derived from Plato 's Socrates and his disciples Cervantes 's Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, and James Boswell 's conversations with Dr Samuel Johnson , but many of the initial strokes of characterisation derived from Conan Doyle's medical teachers, fellow-students, and former Jesuit masters.

Valley of Fear, The Titles in Short Stories category: His Last Bow Biography British writer, creator Sherlock Holmes, the best-known detective in literature and the embodiment of sharp reasoning. Doyle himself was not a good example of rational personality: he believed in fairies and was interested in occultism. Sherlock Holmes stories have been translated into more than fifty languages, and made into plays, films, radio and television series, a musical comedy, a ballet, cartoons, comic books, and advertisement. By 1920 Doyle was one of the most highly paid writers in the world. Arthus Conan Doyle was born at Picardy Place, Edinburgh, as the son of Charles Altamont Doyle, a civil servant in the Edinburgh Office of Works, and Mary (Foley) Doyle. Both of Doyle's parents were Roman Catholics. His father suffered from epilepsy and alcoholism and was eventually institutionalized. Charles Altamot died in an asylum in 1893; in the same year Doyle decided to finish permanently the adventures of his master detective. Because of financial problems, Doyle's mother kept a boarding house. Dr. Tsukasa Kobayashi has alluded in an article, that Doyle's mother had a long affair with Bryan Charles Waller, a lodger and a student of pathology, who had a deep impact to Conan Doyle.

The following is a Gaslight etext.... A message to you about How the Brigadier Played for a Kingdom by A. Conan Doyle [from The Strand Magazine , December 1895] BACK to Gaslight's Napoleonic literary chronology It has sometimes struck me that some of you, when you have heard me tell these little adventures of mine, may have gone away with the impression that I was conceited. There could not be a greater mistake than this, for I have always observed that really fine soldiers are free from this failing. It is true that I have had to depict myself sometimes as brave, sometimes as full of resource, always as interesting; but, then, it really was so, and I had to take the facts as I found them. It would be an unworthy affectation if I were to pretend that my career has been anything but a fine one. The incident which I will tell you to-night, however, is one which you will understand that only a modest man would describe. After all, when one has attained such a position as mine, one can afford to speak of what an ordinary man might be tempted to conceal. Of the half-million who crossed the Elbe in the autumn of the year '12, about forty thousand infantry were left in the spring of '13. But they were terrible men, these forty thousand; men of iron, eaters of horses, and sleepers in the snow; filled, too, with rage and bitterness against the Russians. They would hold the Elbe until the great army of conscripts, which the Emperor was raising in France, should be ready to help them to cross it once more.

45. The UnMuseum - Arthur Conan Doyle conan doyle's Trick. As strange as it may seem arthur conan doyle, the creator ofthe ultrarational detective, Sherlock Holmes, was a believer in Spiritualism. http://unmuseum.mus.pa.us/doyle.htm

Conan Doyle's Trick As strange as it may seem Arthur Conan Doyle , the creator of the ultra-rational detective, Sherlock Holmes, was a believer in Spiritualism. He came to his belief, that one could communicate with the dead, after his son was killed in World War I. Conan Doyle became an expert in the field and even wrote a two volume History of Spiritualism in 1926. Harry Houdini , perhaps America's foremost magician in those years, was a friend of Conan Doyle's, but was skeptical of Spiritualism. Houdini took every opportunity to use his understanding of magical illusion to expose mediums and psychics he thought were fakes. He was particularly incensed by those who took advantage of grieving relatives to make a profit. Because of this difference Conan Doyle's and Houdini's friendship was not always an easy one. For this reason Conan Doyle, who had come to the states in 1922 to give a series of lectures on Spiritualism, regarded with suspicion an invitation by Houdini to attend the annual meeting of the Society of American Magicians . Conan Doyle was fearful that Houdini, and the other magicians attending, would take the opportunity to ridicule his spiritualistic beliefs. Abruptly, though, Conan Doyle changed his mind, having come up with his own "trick" for the meeting.

"There are Fairies at the Bottom of our Garden..." Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and the Case of the Cottingley Fairies Chris Willis Birkbeck College Note: This is work in progress. I would be grateful for any comments. Please e-mail me at chris@chriswillis.freeserve.co.uk In July 1917, two young Yorkshirewomen played a practical joke which was to have far-reaching consequences. Their photographs of themselves with 'fairies' were accepted as genuine by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and were the subject of speculation for over 60 years, until the two women revealed the truth. Elsie Wright was 16 in the summer of 1917. A former art student who had worked as a photographer's assistant, she lived with her parents in the village of Cottingley, near Bradford. Her 10-year-old cousin, Frances Griffiths was staying with the Wright family for a summer holiday, along with her mother. Young Frances was repeatedly told off for coming home with her clothes wet after playing in a stream which ran through the woods near the Wright's home. When her mother asked her why she spent so much time there, she replied that she went there to play with the fairies. Intrigued by her cousin's story, Elsie borrowed her father's camera one afternoon. When she helped her father Arthur develop the pictures she took, his first comment was, "You've been up to summat"(

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle His Greatest Mystery Thought Transference. Working with a friend who was an architect he wanted to see if it was possible to transmit diagrams back and forth. Doyle later wrote he had shown beyond any doubt he was able to convey his thoughts without words. Table Turnings were very popular and Doyle attended a large number. One of the most remarkable physical mediums of the day was Daniel Douglas Home (a fellow Scotsman) and Doyle managed to sit with him several times. This was the time in Doyle's life that he became interested in mysticism, which he later replaced with Spiritualist beliefs.
