He was born at Simla in 1852, and the the early portion of his life was spent in India. Dr. Doyle was educated in Scotland and graduated with honours at Aberdeen in 1875. He practised in Great Britain until 1888, when he settled in California after making a tour of the world. While practising his profession till the end he contributed freely to the magazines.

"Dr. Charles W. Doyle, who first won fame several months ago by his “Taming of the Jungle,” is at present at work on a new novel of contemporary Chinese life in the Orient, which will be a companion volume to his stories of Chinese life in San Francisco, published by the Lippincotts under the title of “The Shadow of Quong Lung”. Dr. Doyle spent his early life in India, and the horrors of the Sepoy war were clearly stamped upon his mind. At the age of eighteen he was at Guy’s Hospital, London, “where,” he says, “I spent the most terrible year of my life fretting my heart out for my ‘jungle mother.’” He is now a well-known physician at Santa Cruz, Cal, a pretty seaside resort about ninety miles from San Francisco."
