Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Quotes About Spiritualism

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was a British author and medical doctor (22 May 1859 – 7 July 1930). He developed the character Sherlock Holmes in 1887 when he published the first of four books, A Study in Scarlet and more than fifty short stories about Holmes and Dr. Watson. The tales about Sherlock Holmes are widely regarded as classics in the world of crime fiction. His works include fantasy and science fiction stories about Professor Challenger as well as humorous stories about the Napoleonic soldier Brigadier Gerard, as well as plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction, and historical novels. One of Doyle's early short stories, "J. Habakuk Jephson's Declaration" (1884), helped popularize the Mary Celeste mystery. His father, Charles Altamont Doyle, was of Irish Catholic descent in English, and his mother was Irish Catholic, Mary (born Foley).
