Hornung' (qv)., He very nearly refused a knighthood from 'Queen Victoria' (qv) (for a book he had written on the Boer War) because he was convinced that he was being honored for his Sherlock Holmes stories., He modeled Sherlock Holmes after a professor at the University of Edinburgh, Dr. Joseph Bell, who emphasized the importance of observation in diagnosis. He would often demonstrate this to his students by deducing the occupation and lifestyle of patients purely by his observations., The day he finished the "final" Holmes story, "The Final Problem," his diary entry was pretty succinct: "Killed Holmes.", In addition to writing detective stories, Doyle proved to be a capable amateur detective himself.

Barrie' (qv)., Father of 'Adrian Conan Doyle' (qv)., Was an optometrist, started writing Sherlock Holmes because his practice was not doing well., A spiritualist who was ridiculed for bringing a message to Harry Houdini from Houdini's mother.

Quotes:"Life is infinitely stranger than the mind of man can imagine." "Singularity is almost invariably a clue. The more featureless and commonplace a crime is, the more difficult is it to bring it home.", Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself, but talent instantly recognizes genius.
