After a rigorous Jesuit education, at Stonyhurst College in Lancashire, he trained to be a doctor at Edinburgh University. Eventually he set up in medical practice in Southsea and, during the quiet periods between patients, he turned his hand to writing. Although Sherlock Holmes was Doyle's greatest creation, he believed his historical novels such as \u003ci\u003eMicah Clarke\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe White Company\u003c\/i\u003e were of greater literary quality. He also created the irascible Professor Challenger in \u003ci\u003eThe Lost World\u003c\/i\u003e and the comic French soldier Brigadier Gerard who appeared in a series of short stories. Doyle was knighted in 1902. Towards the end of his life he devoted much of his time to his belief in Spiritualism, using his writings as a means of providing funds to support his activities in this field. He died in 1930.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 376\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 6 x 3.6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 23, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51770010501408,"sku":"9781909621732","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/eb552ae4514aca8cc4e70c6ff5a7aec6.webp?v=1780362428","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-adventures-of-sherlock-holmes-hardcover-4","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
