Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle DL (22 May 1859 – 7 July 1930) was a Scottish medical professional and writer who is most observed for his imaginary stories about the detective Sherlock Holmes, which can be considered milestones in the field of crime fiction. He is also known for writing the imaginary adventures of a second character he invented, Professor Challenger, as well as for popularising the puzzle of the Mary Celeste. He was a prolific article writer whose other works include fantasy and knowledge fiction stories, takes on, romances, poetry, non-fiction, and historical novels. Sherlock Holmes is a imaginary detective created by Scottish writer and medical professional Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, a graduate of the University of Edinburgh Medical University. A London-based "consulting detective" whose talents border on the great, Holmes is famous for his astute rational reasoning, his ability to adopt almost any disguise, and his use of forensic knowledge skills to resolve difficult instances. Holmes, who first appeared in publication in 1887, was highlighted in four novels and 56 brief stories. The first novel, A REPORT in Scarlet, appeared in Beeton's Xmas Total annual in 1887 and the next, The hallmark of the Four, in Lippincott's Monthly Mag in 1890. The character grew greatly in level of popularity with the first series of short stories in The Strand Magazine, beginning with "A Scandal in Bohemia" in 1891; further series of short stories and two novels publicized in serial form appeared between then and 1927. The stories cover an interval from around 1880 up to 1914. Basically four stories are narrated by Holmes's good friend and biographer, Dr. John H. Watson; two are narrated by Holmes himself ("The Blanched Soldier" and "The Lion's Mane") and two others are written in the 3rd person ("The Mazarin Stone" and "His Last Bow"). In two stories ("The Musgrave Ritual" and "The Gloria Scott"), Holmes says Watson the primary storyline from his stories, while Watson becomes the narrator of the frame storyline. The first and fourth novels, A REPORT in Scarlet along with the Valley of Fear, each include a long interval of omniscient narration recounting incidents mysterious to either Holmes or Watson. In 1882 he joined up with past classmate George Turnavine Budd as his partner at a medical practice in Plymouth, but their relationship proved difficult, and Doyle soon left to create an unbiased practice. Arriving in Portsmouth in June of this year with less than £10 (£900 today) to his name, he create a medical practice at 1 Bush Villas in Elm Grove, Southsea. The practice was primarily not so successful. While looking forward to patients, Doyle again started writing stories and made up his first novels, The Enigma of Cloomber, not publicized until 1888, and the unfinished Narrative of John Smith, which would go unpublished until 2011. He amassed a stock portfolio of short stories including "The Captain of the Pole-Star" and "J. Habakuk Jephson's Declaration", both encouraged by Doyle's time at sea, the latter of which popularised the puzzle of the Mary Celeste and added imaginary details like the perfect condition of the dispatch (which had actually taken on drinking water by the time it was uncovered) and its boats remaining up to speed (the main one boat is at fact absent) which may have come to dominate popular accounts of the event.
