About the Author
Scottish writer and master storyteller Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was so impressed, as a medical student, by his professor’s powers of deduction that he was inspired to create the illustrious and beloved detective Sherlock Holmes. His later interest in spiritualism led him to explore more fantastical elements in stories such as The Lost World.
