Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) is best remembered as the creator of the iconic detective Sherlock Holmes and his partner Dr. John H. Watson. An accomplished British writer, Doyle's prowess extended beyond detective fiction to include science fiction, historical novels, plays, romances, poetry, and non-fiction. Educated as a physician at the University of Edinburgh, Doyle's medical knowledge significantly influenced his writing, infusing it with authentic details and logical deduction. His oeuvre is marked by a robust narrative style and rich characterization which are vividly showcased in his essays collected in 'Through the Magic Door' (1907), where Doyle invites readers into his personal library to discuss his favorite literary works and the influence they wrought upon his own writing and thinking. This book provides a unique glimpse into the intellectual backdrop that shaped Conan Doyle's literary aspirations and achievements. Throughout his career, Doyle was a prolific writer whose works reached a broad audience, laying the foundation for modern detective stories. His contribution to literature was significant, and today his works, including the Holmes' canon, are celebrated as classics of English literature.
