Author Information

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was born of Irish parentage in Scotland. He studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh, but he also had a passion for storytelling. His first book introduced that prototype of the modern detective in fiction, Sherlock Holmes. Despite the immense popularity Holmes gained throughout the world, Doyle was not overly fond of the character and preferred to write other stories. Eventually popular demand won out and he continued to satisfy readers with the adventures of the legendary sleuth. He also wrote historical romances and made two essays into pseudoscientific fantasy: The Lost World and The Poison Belt. Matthew Lloyd Davies is a veteran actor, audiobook narrator, and director with experience in radio. A regular with the Royal Shakespeare Company, he has performed internationally and in award-winning television shows and films. He prides himself on his ability to tell a story and holds a master's degree in directing.
