Arthur Conan Doyle
(Mary Louise (born 1889) and Alleyne Kingsley (1892 1918)) and three with his
second wife (Jean Lena Annette, Denis Percy Stewart (17 March 1909 9 March 1955),
second husband in 1936 of Georgian Princess Nina Mdivani (circa 1910 19 February
1987) (former sister-in-law of Barbara Hutton), and Adrian Malcolm).
Portrait of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle by Sidney Paget, 1897.
In 1890, Conan Doyle studied the eye in Vienna; he moved to London in 1891 to set up a
practice as an ophthalmologit. He wrote in his autobiography that not a single patient
crossed his door. This gave him more time for writing, and in November 1891 he wrote
to his mother: "I think of slaying Holmes... and winding him up for good and all. He
takes my mind from better things." His mother responded, saying, "You may do what you
deem fit, but the crowds will not take this lightheartedly." In December 1893, he did so in
order to dedicate more of his time to more "important" works (his historical novels).
