 | | Conan Doyle and the Parson's Son -The George Edalji case | | | One of the odder aspects of this period of his life was his book The Coming of the Fairies (1921): 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. | | | Samuel Rosenberg's 1974 book Naked is the Best Disguise purports to explain how Doyle left, throughout his writings, open clues that related to hidden and suppressed aspects of his mentality. |

| | 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. |

| | 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. |

| | Garrick-Steele says that Conan Doyle stole the idea for one of his best-known Sherlock Holmes novels, "The Hound of the Baskervilles," from his friend Bertram Fletcher Robinson and later poisoned him with the help of Robinson's wife Gladys with whom he was having an affair. | | | "Using his extensive medical knowledge -- remember Conan Doyle trained as a doctor and Holmes is famous for his knowledge of poisons -- he persuaded Gladys to administer gradual, but lethal doses of laudanum to her husband," Garrick-Steele told the Independent on Sunday. | | | In his book titled "The House of the Baskervilles," Garrick-Steele said much of the detail for the story of the giant, ghostly hound which preyed on members of the Baskerville family had come from a manuscript entitled "Adventure on Dartmoor," written by Robinson a year before. |

| | After Holmes' resurrection, Doyle's early passion for historical fiction sought an outlet in other genres, such as the scientific romance, resulting in the writing of The Lost World (1912), The Poison Belt (1913), and The Land of Mist (1926). | | | Despite Doyle's faith in the quality and originality of the story's hero, A Study in Scarlet gained little notice among readers. | | | In July 1891, Doyle wrote his first of six Sherlock Holmes tales for The Strand, making Doyle England's most popular serialized fiction writer. |
