This vivid biography, written by John Dickson Carr, a giant in the field of mystery fiction, benefits from his full access to the archives of the eminent Sir Arthur Conan Doyle--to his notebooks, diaries, press clippings, and voluminous correspondence. Like his creation Sherlock Holmes, Doyle had "a horror of destroying documents," and until his death in 1930, they accumulated to vast amount throughout his house at Windlesham. They provide many of the words incorporated by Carr in this lively portrayal of Doyle's forays into politics, his infatuation with spiritualism, his literary ambitions, and dinner-table conversations with friends like H. G. Wells and King Edward VII. Carr, then, in a sense collaborates with his subject to unfold a colorful narrative that takes Doyle from his school days at Stonyhurst to Edinburgh University and a medical practice at Southsea, where he conceived the idea of wedding scientific study to criminal investigation in the fictive person of Sherlock Holmes. It also explores the private tragedy of Doyle's first marriage and long-delayed second as it follows him into the arena of public activity, propaganda, and literary output that would win him not only celebrity but also knighthood. 8 pages of black-and-white photographs are featured.

Looks great
Size: Large, Color: Black
Looks great, comfortable to wear, love that the buttons are the same color as the shirt, easy to wash, appears to be durably made. Significantly exceeded expectations (I ordered 2 more). 4 stars instead of 5 because it’s possible to move your arms in a way that makes the shirt slightly tight in the bicep area, but that’s unnoticeable almost all of the time (and minor anyway). Note: even after a couple of wash - wear - wash cycles, there were creases along the same places as where the shirt was shipped; this was easily remedied by a quick iron on a low setting and I think reflects that it is quite resistant to wrinkles.
