Conan Doyle: the antithesis of Mr Holmes? November 19, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Mary Cable the American writer said that the best biographies leave their readers with a sense of having all but entered into a second life and of having come to know another human being in some ways better than he knew himself and Andrew Lycett's biography of Arthur Conan Doyle is no exception to this rule. If, as I do, you like to truly understand the subject and his or her antecedents then this is the book for you. As with his biographies of Dylan Thomas and Rudyard Kipling, Lycett has managed to delve deep into an already well researched subject to find even more information about Conan Doyle. Information that may reinforce your admiration for the creator of Sherlock Holmes or, and do be warned, may diminish it. Whatever the outcome you will not be disappointed by this excellent biography.

The Sunday Times' review of Andrew Lycett's biography of Doyle says it all: 'the best we are likely to get.' Although it doesn't offer much in the way of news, I was pleased to see that Doyle's spat with the slippery Harry Price, the subject of my own biography, is covered and that Andrew has used my take on Doyle's relationship with HP.
