Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was a very interesting character. He was a writer, doctor, athlete, and the creator of the world's most famous detective. That's right, he's the author of the Sherlock Holmes books. But other than those, he wrote
The Lost World, a book about an expedition to an area in South America cut off from the rest of the world where dinosaurs never became extinct, as well as
The Poison Belt and many others. Today for school, I started writing a biography on him, take a look
here.
Note: Biography is not complete.
He also wrote poems. Here's one:
The soundest sleeper, far or near
I think would scarcely slumber on,
If close to his unconscious ear
You played upon the Bombardon.
The Bombardon is a huge tuba-like instrument.
He had a great life, doing amazing things, including working on a whaling-ship. Who doesn't want to do something like that?
