Post Published: May 18, 2010

Aurora Hills wishes Sir Arthur Conan Doyle a happy birthday!

On May 22 the Aurora Hills Branch Library will mark the famed author’s 151st birthday!

Everyone knows and loves Detective Sherlock Holmes and his partner Watson. But did you know that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle also chronicled the adventures of another character? Try reading The Lost World, and immerse yourself in the life of Professor E. Challenger as he leads a scientific expedition through the Amazon. What they discover there is a world away from 221B Baker Street!
