Description

Conan Doyle: The Man Who Created Sherlock Holmes A groundbreaking biography that sheds new light on the life of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of one of literature's most enduring characters. This comprehensive portrait reveals the complexities and contradictions of a man who was both romantic and selfish, idealistic and foolhardy. Through meticulous research and access to previously unseen material, Andrew Lycett offers a nuanced and sympathetic portrayal of Conan Doyle's personal journey from student to doctor, author to spiritualist. The book explores his relationships, including those with his domineering mother and his wife while she was dying, as well as his fascination with the supernatural. With a deep understanding of Conan Doyle's life and work, this biography provides a fresh perspective on a figure who has long been overshadowed by his creation.
