Arthur Conan Doyle was born on 22 May 1859 at Picardy Place, Edinburgh. He was educated in Jesuit Schools and later studied at Edinburgh University, qualifying as a Doctor in 1885. After graduation Arthur Conan Doyle practiced Medicine until 1891, when he became a full time Writer. Creativity was apparent in Doyle's Ancestry : his Grandfather was a famous Caricaturist and his Uncle was a well-known Illustrator. Doyle's Father was an Architect, Designer and Book Illustrator. Doyle himself was an Admirer of Edgar Allan Poe and Emile Gaboriau.

In developing his own Literary Character, Doyle based Sherlock Holmes on Doctor Joseph Bell, a Surgeon and Teacher he had studied with while attending Edinburgh University. Dr. Bell had the uncanny Ability to reveal a Patient's Symptoms, Diagnose Patients and Report on their Origins before they would speak a word to him about their Afflictions.... Sir Henry Littlejohn, who taught Forensic Medicine to Doyle also made a large impression and contributed to the development of Holmes' Character.As far as Holmes' name, his last name may have been based on American Jurist and fellow Doctor Oliver Wendell Holmes and his first name may have come from Alfred Sherlock, a Prominent Violinist of his time.... This Book proposes different Fictions about Sherlock Holmes or creating Characters having similarities and always written by Famous Admiring Writers.
