Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, born 150 years ago (22 May 1859), was the inventor of
fictional detective Sherlock Holmes, a character who came to dwarf his creator.
A medical doctor who became convinced of the existence of the spirit world and fairies,
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s life is fascinating.
In 2009, Guy Ritchie directs Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law as the latest Holmes and Watson.
