About Arthur Conan Doyle
Scottish writer and master storyteller Arthur Conan Doyle was born in 1859. As a medical student he was so impressed by his professors powers of deduction that he was inspired to create the illustrious and much-loved figure Sherlock Holmes. However in contrast to his scientific background Conan Doyle became increasingly interested in spiritualism leaving him keen to explore other fantastical elements in stories such as The Lost World. Jon Lellenberg is a longtime member of The Sherlock Holmes Society of London the historian of The Baker Street Irregulars in America and the author editor or co-editor of a half dozen books about the life of Sherlock Holmes's creator including 'Arthur Conan Doyle: His Life in Letters' (HarperCollins) which was a BBC Book of the Week in September 2007 and 'Dangerous Work: Diary of an Arctic Adventure' (British Library 2012). From 1979 to 2016 he was the U.S. representative of Dame Jean Conan Doyle the author's daughter and subsequently of the Conan Doyle Estate.
