The Sign of the Four was written by Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930), who was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. As a medical student, he was so impressed by his professor's powers of deduction that he was inspired to create the illustrious and much-loved figure Sherlock Holmes. Holmes is known for his keen power of observation and logical reasoning, which often astounds his companion Dr Watson. However, Conan Doyle became increasingly interested in spiritualism, leaving him keen to explore more fantastical elements in his stories.

Conan Doyle was a prolific writer of non-fiction, history, plays, poems, short stories and novels. Whatever the subject, his vibrant and remarkable characters have breathed life into all of his work, engaging readers throughout the decades.
