∙ 12y agoSir Arthur Conan Doyle is considered the world's foremost detective story and novel writer. This happened because his characters Sherlock Holmes and Professor Challenger pleased the tastes of readers the world over with the unique new combination of science, psychology, adventure and logic. These characters were ripe, intelligent gentlemen whom the world liked and respected. They never failed the reader. Doyle's rich language also contributed. These themes of detection of crimes were refined to perfection by Doyle without a single flaw or loose end. However Conan Doyle did not like to be known as a detective novelist. His important contributions were on history. Sir Nigel and The White Company are examples.
