 | | Conan Doyle and the Parson's Son -The George Edalji case | | | He was apparently totally convinced of the veracity of the Cottingley fairy photographs, which he reproduced in the book, together with theories about the nature and existence of fairies and spirits. | | | In his The History of Spiritualism (1926) Doyle highly praised the psychic phenomena and spirit materializations produced by Eusapia Palladino and Mina Crandon, Margery, based on the investigations of scientists who refused to listen to well informed conjurors. |

| | The Doyle Era |
| | First, Doyle wrote a series of tales set in the Victorian Gold fields; this was precisely the setting of such Australian casebook writers as James Skipp Borlase and Mary Fortune. | | | Doyle's stories are full of disguise, and Sims' tale is in the tradition of such Doyle works as "A Scandal in Bohemia" (1891). | | | Doyle, and Holmes and Watson, loved the fantastic, the outré and the bizarre in his cases. |

| | The Perpetrator at Piltdown |
| | Doyle, it must be said, genuinely believed in the scientific significance of the evidence pointing to the existence of early man. Indeed he composed a manuscript entitle "Human Origins," though it was never published. | | | And Holmes, as his admirers know, was not only a master of deduction, he was also a forensic genius as expert in chemistry as he was in pharmacology, as familiar with human pathology as he was with anthropology. | | | The main characters in the book can be identified as acquaintances of Doyle, although some of the characters appear to be composites of two or more people. |

| | Sir Arthur Conan Doyle |
| | When Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was knighted in 1902, there was some speculation that the honor was bestowed to recognize his achievement in The Hound of the Baskervilles. | | | Holmes was an immensely popular creation during Conan Doyle's lifetime, also -- too popular for the author, who wanted his name associated more closely with his other works. | | | The character Professor Challenger of 1912's The Lost World, about living remnants of the prehistoric world, did not match Holmes in popularity, but he did inspire a large following himself, and he appeared again in other science fiction adventures, including The Poison Belt in 1913, and a collection of stories published posthumously in 1952. |

| | Conan Doyle's long stories included medieval narratives of the fourteenth-century nomadic soldiery, of the Monmouth Rebellion and the Huguenots, of Regency England and of Arab revolt in the Sudan. | | | He became a Spiritualist after World War I (of which he had written histories), a religious interest which enhanced his tales of the macabre. | | | But the short story was his classical art-form, and the precision, clarity, wit, pace, atmosphere, intellectual debate were achieved initially through training in case-study narrative from his medical education. |
