Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859 – 1930) was a Scottish writer and physician, most noted for his fictional stories about the detective Sherlock Holmes, which are generally considered milestones in the field of crime fiction. He is also known all over the world as the creator of the most famous fictional characters in English literature. He was a man of many talents : a medical doctor, prolific and excellent storyteller, keen patriot and a staunch imperialist, as well as a campaigner against miscarriages of justice.In August of 1885, he married a young woman called Louisa Hawkins, the sister of one of his patients. He described her in his memoirs as having been "gentle and amiable”.Sherlock Holmes made his first appearance in ‘A Study of Scarlet’ published in Beeton’s Christmas Annual in 1887. Conan Doyle was paid £25 for this story. Its success encouraged its author to write a full length novel, and two years later, Micah Clarke was published to critical acclaim. Connan Doyle added to this success with a series of Holmes stories for the Strand Magazine in 1891.In 1906 his first wife died an infectious diseases from tuberculosis, this year Doyle published Sir Nigel, a popular historical novel of the Middle Ages; and in 1907 Doyle married Jean Leckie. Doyle now took up a number of political and charitable causes. In 1909 he wrote Divorce Law Reform, supporting equal rights for women in British law, and The Crime of the Congo, attacking the mistreatment of that colony by Belgium. In 1911 he published a second collection of poems, Songs of the Road, and in 1912 began a series of science fiction stories with the novel The Lost World, featuring another of his famous characters, Professor Challenger.Conan Doyle also published a number of non-fictional works including, The War in South Africa: its Cause and Conduct, and The British Campaign in France and Flanders, a six-volume history, which he completed in 1920.Arthur Conan Doyle died on July 7th, 1930 of a heart attack; he was 71 years old. His last words were directed toward his wife: "You are wonderful." At the time of his death, there was some controversy concerning his burial place, as he was avowedly not a Christian, considering himself a Spiritualist. He was first buried on 11 July 1930 in Windlesham rose garden. He was later reinterred together with his wife in Minstead churchyard in the New Forest, Hampshire.
