Ebenezer Scroggie (1792-1836)

Death: 1836 Location: Canongate Kirkyard , Edinburgh, Scotland Photo taken by: Kim Traynor In his diaries, Charles Dickens states that his celebrated fictional character Ebenezer Scrooge stems from a grave marker which he saw in 1841, while taking an evening walk in the Canongate Kirkyard. The headstone was for Ebenezer Scroggie. The marker identified Scroggie as a "meal man" (corn merchant), but Dickens misread this as "mean man" , due to the fading light and his mild dyslexia. The grave marker was lost during construction work at part of the Kirkyard in 1932.

He was also influenced by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle , whom he attempted to translate into Japanese. In 1923 he made his literary debut by publishing the mystery story The Two-Sen Copper Coin (二銭銅貨). Over the course of the next several years, Edogawa went on to write a number of other stories that focus on crimes and the processes involved in solving them. Among these stories are a number of...
