[[File:Arthur Conan Doyle by Walter Benington, 1914.png|thumb|300px]]
The creator of [[Sherlock Holmes]] and [[The Lost World (novel)|Professor Challenger]]. He wrote many other stories, but mostly only the ones regarding the famous detective are remembered now. Recently he's appeared as a fictional character in a series of murder mysteries featuring [[Oscar Wilde]] and Robert Sherard as the Holmes/Watson characters. Anyone with an interest in medieval history and historical fiction should read his novel, [[The White Company]], providing both an fairly accurate depiction of the subject for its time (and the knowledge they had), and a fine insight into A.C.D.'s own time; British Imperialism, The Empire (after all it was the largest ever), and the mentality that justified and drove it.
