He trained as a doctor, gaining his degree from Edinburgh University in 1881. It was reconstructed by Blackhawk Films in 1974 and recently reissued on DVD.

Synopsis: “He relates how, in 1886, he came to write the Sherlock Holmes stories, and for five minutes he gives a rich and humorous history of his scientific detective in a warm Scotch burr.

He established a medical office in London, though he had few patients. A public outcry later made him resurrect Holmes. Together, they had three children, Denis, Adrian and little Jean. Some people without possessing genius have a remarkable power of stimulating it.”His first wife, Louise Hawkins, whom he had married in 1884, died in 1906, and he married Jean Leckie in 1907.

Because his age (he was 40) precluded him from serving as a soldier in war, he came out of medical retirement and served his country as a doctor in the Second Boer War instead. The second Sherlock Holmes story, The Sign of the Four, was written for the Lippincott’s Magazine and the later stories appeared in the Strand Magazine.

He then settled in Portsmouth on the English south coast and divided his time between medicine and writing.

Sherlock Holmes made his first appearance in 'A Study of Scarlet', published in 'Beeton's Christmas Annual' in 1887. Creativity was apparent in Doyle’s ancestry: his grandfather was a famous caricaturist and his uncle was a well-known illustrator.

Doyle’s father was an architect, designer and book illustrator.

It would be another 9 years before Louisa died of tuberculosis in July 1906. On one trip with his family to Switzerland, the location of Sherlock's final battle with his nemesis, Professor James Moriarty, was determined. He was convinced his wife, Jean, was able to communicate with the dead as a medium, and she believed him. In an effort to ease symptoms of her illness, the family often took trips to Switzerland and Egypt, where the climates there made breathing easier.

After publishing The Final Problem, a deluge of public outcry over the loss of their beloved detective (and even his own mother) pressured him into resurrecting the famous detective.

Doyle did manage to find time to write both historical novels and other short stories including The Lost World, Professor Challenger, and Sir Nigel.

He met Jean Elizabeth Leckie in 1897 at a party, and while he remained steadfast in his care for his ailing wife, he fell in love with Jean at first sight.

Originally part of an early Movietone sound reel, it was also used as part of the presentation of Basil Rathbone’s Hound of the Baskervilles in 1975. He worked as a surgeon on a whaling boat and also as a medical officer on a steamer travelling between Liverpool and West Africa.

The 15-page letter written by Jean as a medium, which was supposedly Houdini's mother's writing, had perfect English even though his mother only spoke broken English in life. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson became famous around the world.
