Google Celebrates Conan Doyle’s (1859-1930) Birthday with a fancy new Sherlock Holmes inspired logo:
Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Scotland on May 22, 1859. He studied medicine there, eventually serving as a physician in the Boer War (1899-1902).
Conan Doyle’s fame rests on his creation of the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. Doyle published his first Holmes tale, A Study in Scarlet, in 1887.
