| | Arthur Conan Doyle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | 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. |

| | Arthur Conan Doyle |
| | Doyle's mother, Mary, whom he called "the Ma'am," was interested in literature, and she encouraged his son to explore the world of books. | | | Doyle himself was not a good example of rational personality: he believed in fairies and was interested in occultism. | | | The old stories are literature, not because of the conjuring tricks and the puzzles, not because of the lively melodrama, which they have in common with many other detective stories, but the virtue of imagination and style. |

| | Thank God for us all that Sir Arthur was a clear-headed thinker. | | | The phenomena were, quite frankly, too amazing for Sir Arthur, and he underrated both the honesty of the medium and the intelligence of the sitters. | | | We cringe at Sir Arthur's use of the word performance; however, this statement bears great weight upon his support for the cause. |

| | Arthur's mother, whom he was always close to and whom he referred to as "The Ma'am", advised him to break his association with Budd because the man was a quack and would ruin his reputation. | | | Arthur's mother delved into her savings to help her son. | | | He was knighted in 1902, making him Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. |

| | Doyle's mother, Mary, on the other hand was the backbone of the family. | | | By this time, Doyle was not only a famous author but a famous man and he was offered a knighthood, which he immediately refused, stating that a knighthood was a discredited title. | | | She was a well-read woman and a great storyteller and years later, Arthur would credit her for her love of literature. |

| | 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. |

| | Continuation of the tales of Sherlock Holmes and Watson, focusing on the curse surrounding Sir Henry Baskerville, and the supernatural events that follow during the investigation. | | | However, although the mysteries brought him success, Doyle was drawn to more serious writing and resolved to kill Sherlock Holmes. | | | He attempted to do so in December of 1893 with The Final Problem, and afterwards wrote many other novels in various genres, but the public outcry caused him to eventually resurrect the detective for further cases. |

| | Conan Doyle and the Cottingley Fairies |
| | With belated caution, Doyle began his book by commenting that its contents, "represent either the most elaborate and ingenious hoax ever played upon the public or else they constitute an event in human history which may in the future appear to have been epoch-making in its character"(9). | | | Ironically, the book's publishers, Hodder and Stoughton, later published Conan Doyle's book on the Cottingley Fairies, but no-one in the firm seems to have spotted the similarity between the illustrations. | | | Another illustration to the poem showed a young girl playing with a fairy, and may well have been Elsie's inspiration. |

| | Arthur Conon Doyle not only accepted these photos as genuine, he even wrote two pamphlets and a book attesting the genuineness of these photos, and including much additional fairy lore. | | | Doyle's books make very interesting reading even today. | | | There was only one independent witness, Geoffrey L. Hodson, a Theosophist writer, who claimed to see the fairies, and confirmed the girls' observations in all details. |

| | The Case of the Cottingley Fairies |
| | Conan Doyle saw the Cottingley fairies incident as (perhaps literally) a gift from the gods, paving the way for more profound truths that may gradually become acceptable to a materialistic world. | | | A perusal of Conan Doyle's book The Coming of the Fairies, or Visions or Beliefs by Lady Gregory and the poet W. Yeats, should prove that more than a handful of such claims have been made. | | | As far as they were concerned, clear prints showing recognisable fairies and a gnome would provide the long-sought firm evidence for `dwellers at the border' (as Conan Doyle was later to term nature spirits). |
