 <\/p>\n

Trained as a doctor at Edinburgh University in 1881, Arthur Conan Doyle divided his time between medicine and writing.\u00a0<\/em>His career included being a\u00a0writer and a journalist,\u00a0as well as being a surgeon on a whaling boat and a medical officer on a steamer. He\u00a0twice ran unsuccessfully for parliament. He \u00a0was knighted for producing a pamphlet\u00a0justifying Britain’s involvement in the Boer War and wrote histories of the Boer War and World War One, in which his son, brother and two of his nephews were killed.\u00a0<\/em><\/h4>\n

Arthur Conan Doyle d<\/em>ied of a heart attack on 7 July 1930.<\/em><\/h4>\n

Sherlock Holmes<\/em><\/em><\/h2>\n

Sherlock made his first appearance in 1887 in ‘A Study of Scarlet’, which was published in ‘Beeton’s Christmas Annual’. the character proved so successful that Conan Doyle wrote more stories involving Holmes. \u00a0Hoping to concentrate on more serious writing, Conan Doyle killed off\u00a0Holmes in 1893, but the public outcry made him resurrect\u00a0the character.<\/em><\/p>\n

Sherlock – The Abominable Bride<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The abominable bride<\/h3>\n

Benedict Cumberbatch plays the famous sleuth\u00a0Sherlock Holmes in the latest BBC series.<\/p>\n

A holiday special of the modernised crime drama took Sherlock back to\u00a0Victorian London.\u00a0Joined by his faithful friend John Watson, played by Martin Freeman, they examined the mysterious case of a crazed bride who fired\u00a0shots into the street before shooting herself.<\/p>\n

Was this a\u00a0vengeful bride from beyond the grave intent on murdering her husband? Will Sherlock be able to solve the case of the abominable bride?<\/p>\n
