Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was Interviewed on Spirituality

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh, Scotland on the 22nd of May 1859 and died 7th July 1930 age 71. He is, of course remembered for the Sherlock Holmes detective stories that were published in the Strand magazine during the Victorian era. He wrote other stories too. However, he constantly found Sherlock Holmes (his great fictitious creation) always surpassed many of his other fine novels.

Sometimes this aggravated him and he even tried to kill the character off. However, public outcry led Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to continue the stories. For Sherlock Holmes earned him a regular and handsome income. Although his other novels sold well; they never matched the sales of his Sherlock Holmes stories, or stood the test of time as his grand detective and Watson creation did.

Later, in his life, he developed a belief and interest in spiritualism and looked upon his Sherlock Holmes as less of a burden then in his younger years. In 1927, he was interviewed and it is believed to be the only audio and film of the great author, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
