\u2018Famous Authors Series \u2013 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle\u2019 is our fourth post profiling famous authors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I wonder if Sir Arthur (22 May 1859 \u2013 7 July 1930) knew that his character Sherlock Holmes, created in 1887, would remain popular into the 21st century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Upon the success of his character, he co-wrote the stage play Sherlock Holmes. <\/em>This <\/em>premiered in 1899 and closed after 200 performances. There were movie spin-offs in his lifetime, a radio adaptation starring the inimitable Orson Welles in 1938 after Doyle\u2019s death, and even a musical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
