Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was born in Edinburgh. Educated by the Jesuits at Stonyhurst, Doyle entered the medical school at Edinburgh University in 1876, working as a doctor's assistant at times to help pay the fees. He graduated in 1881 and, after Greenland and African voyages as a ship's doctor, went into practice at Southsea, Portsmouth.
Conan Doyle had started to write while he was a medical student, and at twenty he had a story published in Chamber's journal. Sherlock Holmes first appeared in A Study in Scarlet (1887), and from 1891 he featured regularly in stories for the Strand Magazine.
To replace Holmes, Conan Doyle created Etienne Gerard, a young French cavalry officer from the time of the Napoleonic Wars, whose memoirs were collected as The Exploits of Brigadier Gerard (1896) and its sequel, Adventures of Gerard.
Knighted in 1902, Conan Doyle produced more than 60 books in the course of his career, including songs, poetry and historical fiction in the spirit of Scott. But his greatest literary achievement lay in his short stories, unrivalled in the mingling of character, action and atmosphere, whether Holmesian or Gerardine.

Ta Sir Charles Baskerville, mionuasal de chuid Devon Shasana, tar eis bas a fhail gan choinne agus dealraionn se gurb e an scanradh a chuir cu abhalmhor scafar air a thug a bhas. Creideann roinnt da chomharsana seansceal a deir nach ainmhi saolta an madra ceanna, ach cu diabhlai anios o ifreann a thaithionn riasc sceirdiuil contuirteach na duiche agus ata ar ti dhiobhail mhuintir Baskerville le fada. Faoi Sherlock Holmes agus an Dochtuir Watson ata se a thaispeaint cen sort ainmhi go firinneach an cu agus feachaint chuige san am ceanna nach ndeantar aon diobhail do Sir Henry Baskerville, mac dearthar agus oidhre Sir Charles, ata tagtha chun conaithe in Halla Baskerville chun a oidhreacht a eileamh. Dar le go leor leirmheastoiri go bhfuil Cu na mBaskerville ar an sceal is fearr de scealta Sherlock Holmes agus nil aon amhras ach go bhfuil se ar cheann de na scealta bleachtaireachta is iomraiti dar scriobhadh riamh. Foilsiodh in 1934 an t-aistriuchan Gaeilge seo de a rinne Nioclas Toibin. Is eard ata san eagran nua seo leagan caighdeanaithe den aistriuchan sin, arna chur in eagar ag Aibhistin O Duibh. -- Sir Charles Baskerville, a Devon landowner, has died suddenly, apparently from the fright given him by an enormous fearsome dog. Some of the local people believe an old legend according to which the dog is not an earthly animal, but rather a supernatural hell-hound which inhabits the area's lonely dangerous moor and has haunted the Baskervilles for generations. It's up to Sherlock Holmes and Watson to show what the true nature of the hound is whilst seeing to it that no harm comes to Sir Henry Baskerville, Sir Charles' nephew and heir who has come to live in Baskerville Hall and claim his inheritance. Many commentators consider that The Hound of the Baskervilles is the best of the Sherlock Holmes stories and it is certainly one of the best-known detective stories ever written. An Gum published this Irish-language translation by Nioclas Toibin in 1934. In this new edition of that translation, edited by Aibhistin O Duibh, the text has been standardized to conform to the written Irish of today."
