Books by Arthur Conan Doyle

Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was a Scottish writer and physician best known for creating Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. He wrote four novels and 56 short stories featuring Holmes, collected into five volumes. Beyond Holmes, he wrote historical novels, science fiction (The Lost World), and journalism. He was knighted in 1902. The Hound of the Baskervilles, published in 1902, was written as a prequel after Conan Doyle had already killed Holmes — which perhaps explains its unusually complete construction as a stand-alone novel.
