A mention if you will, for SIR ARTHUR IGNATIOUS CONAN DOYLE, legendary Scotsman who contributed so much to British literature Born on this day, May 22nd 1859 in Edinburgh, Scotland. He gave us the marvellous SHERLOCK HOLMES as well as Professor Challenge and Brigadier Gerard.... Suffering terribly from Angina Pectoris, he died on July 7th1930 aged 71. His very last words were uttered as he fell in his garden, clutching his heart....directed to his wife, he said.... " You are Wonderful " A legendary Brit who I salute
