Here, in a single volume, is a first-class introduction to the life and work of Arthur Conan Doyle. The introduction provides a superb critical summing up of a very complex personality and outlines some of the major aspects of his work. The addition of the selections themselves, many long out of print, makes this an essential volume: a book to gain knowledge from as well as to enjoy.--Peter Tremayne, bestselling author of "Act of Mercy" and other Sister Fidelma mysteries
