What are Arthur Conan Doyle's hobbies?

From his very early boyhood days his life in a strictly governed and disciplined family determined Arthur Conan Doyle's character, the result of which we can see in his works which are concise, complete and sharp, with the stories without leaving any loose ends. All his characters except one or two are integrated persons, even the villains. Woman-beaters, child-abusers or rapists are seldom seen among the characters Doyle created, even though his stories are thick-packed with crime. His adolescent life in a boarding school in London away from home was charecterized by young learners surrounding this senior scholar to listen to the unending interesting stories he made up for them. It was the budding and training of a great story teller. His passing of the degree of Master of Surgery in 1881 from the University of Edinburgh established him as a medical practitioner and we see his famous supporting character Dr. Watson. His professor Dr. Joseph Bell himself was the role model for Sherlock Holmes. Glimpses of his college days journey in the Arctic-going whaler ship Hope and his services as Ship's Surgeon in the Africa-going steamer Mayumba are scattered everywhere throughout his literary productions.
