From the beginning of his career there was an element of spiritualism that always intrigued Doyle and influenced his work. It may well have been this particular interest that aroused Doyle's somewhat erratic interest in Freemasonry. Arthur Doyle - he added the middle name Conan later - was born into an Irish Catholic family at Picardy Place, Edinburgh, on 22nd May 1859. One of ten children, he was sent to Hodder Preparatory School in 1868, and from there to Stonyhurst College, a Jesuit school, as a boarder, where he spent five unhappy years. By the time he left Stonyhurst, aged 17, he had rejected his religion and embraced spiritualism. His father, Charles Altamont Doyle, a civil servant in the Edinburgh Office of Works, suffered from epilepsy and was an alcoholic, who died in an asylum in 1893. His mother, Mary Foley, had openly taken a lover, Dr. Bryan Charles Waller, as a lodger.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle "This is indeed a mystery,' I remarked. 'What do you imagine that it means?" " I have no data yet. It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts..." (from A SCANDAL IN BOHEMIA, 1891) The first story about Sherlock Holmes, A STUDY IN SCARLET, was published in 1887 in Beeton Christmas Annual . The novel was written in three weeks in 1886. It introduced the detective and his associate and friend, Dr. Watson, and made famous Holmes' address at Mrs. Hudson's house, 221B Baker Street, London. Their major opponent was the malevolent Moriarty, the classic evil genius who was a kind of doppelgänger of Holmes, and the beautiful opera singer Irene Adler, who also caused much trouble for Holmes. Sherlock Holmes' roots were threefold. His literary forefather was Edgar Allan Poe's detective C. Auguste Dupin. A person known to Doyle, Joseph Bell, a teacher in the University of Edinburgh, served as another model, as well as Eugène Francois Vidoq, a former criminal, who became the first chief of the Sûreté on the principle of 'set a thief to catch a thief '. The second Sherlock Holmes story, THE SIGN OF THE FOUR, was written for

July 7, 1930, Sussex, England Life and Works: Best known as creator of perhaps the most famous detective in fiction, Arthur Conan Doyle was born at Picardy Place, Edinburgh, on May 22, 1859, as the son of Charles Altamont Doyle, a civil servant in the Edinburgh Office of Works, and Mary (Foley) Doyle. Both of Doyle's parents were Roman Catholics. The Doyle family was a large one—Arthur was one of ten children, seven of whom survived to maturity—and life was difficult for his mother, who struggled to bring up the children on the income of some £240 a year provided by her husband Charles, who pursued an unambitious life as a civil servant. Whilst Charles Doyle also had artistic talents, he exercised his skills only intermittently, and lack of drive led to the loss of his post in the Office of Works in Edinburgh. After this he lapsed steadily into alcoholism, and his epilepsy grew increasingly worse, so that he was institutionalized for the final years of his life, finally dying in 1893. The effect of his father's alcoholism on Conan Doyle was profound and, whilst he chose to draw a veil over this particular topic in his autobiography

Yet during his long and distinguished life his interests, his work and writings extended far beyond the stories published in the Canon, the collective term for the 52 Holmes short stories and three novels. From the beginning of his career there was an element of spiritualism that always intrigued Doyle and influenced his work.

Draw Me A Picture We all know what Sherlock Holmes looks like, and we have our favorite images of him. But when Sir Arthur Conan Doyle sold A Study in Scarlet for Beeton’s Christmas Annual (sold in 1886 but not published until 1887), the detective existed just in words (and only a few had read those yet!). The first artist chosen to draw Holmes would create an image that would last forever. There were no plays, movies or television shows to compete with. The sketches created for this first story would shape the public perception of Sherlock Holmes for as long as he was remembered. Balderdash! The early drawings of the master sleuth weren’t particularly good and are forgotten by most today. However, many of the illustrations that followed were quite good, and some of them did play a lasting role in how we view Sherlock Holmes, even today. Let’s take a look at some of the men who drew him. False Start – Five Yards D.H. Friston A Study in Scarlet . His four pictures, two of which feature Holmes, are less than inspiring. One picture shows a good look at Holmes wearing a long overcoat and sporting sideburns. Unfortunately, if he weren’t holding a magnifying glass up to the wall, it’s unlikely you would know that it was Sherlock Holmes. We weren’t off to a running start, but the next drawings would actually send us backwards. D.H. Friston’s first profile of Sherlock Holmes in Beeton’s Christmas Annual, 1887.

Line drawings from the 1860s by Charles Altamont Doyle (1832-1893) Although the history of golf stretches back to the 15th century, prior to the 1850s it had not achieved widespread popularity, being mainly confined to Scotland. However, the introduction of the gutta percha ball, replacing the earlier 'featherie', brought about a change in club design and, because of its cheaper price, introduced many new players to the game. These sketches made in the 1860s by C.A. Doyle, father of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, were amongst the earliest illustrations of golf to be published in Victorian England and played their part in extending an awareness of the sport beyond the restricted confines of Scotland.

About the Sherlock Holmes Collections at the University of Minnesota Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Among the Architects Derham Groves 'I thought it as well,' said Holmes, as we climbed the stile, 'that this fellow should think we had come here as architects It may stop his gossip.' 'The Speckled Band' (1892) Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of the world's first consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes, was certainly aware of – if not influenced by – architecture. To begin with, Doyle's father, Charles Altamont Doyle (1832 – 1893), was an architect in the Scottish Office of Works. Very little is known about Charles' architectural career, but he is credited with designing the fountain at Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh, and one of the windows in Glasgow Cathedral. Unfortunately, he was an alcoholic, and spent his last years in several institutions. A book of sketches Charles did at one of these places, ironically named Sunnyside, (which was published in 1978) indicates that he was a skilled draughtsman with a vivid imagination. While Sir Arthur was much closer to his mother than his father, Charles was nonetheless a figure of influence: For example, the 1888 edition of the first Sherlock Holmes story
