An in depth biography of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle focusing on his literary work and additionally providing context of his personal, professional, political, and paranormal life.
This gives a well rounded unbiased (looking at you Memories and Adventures) look at Doyle’s life, showing some context rarely found in other sources.
Instead of a bibliography, Ashley uses footnotes to cite sources and provide important contextual information. In the back of the book there is a comprehensive chronology and index to help readers navigate to the specific information they need if using the book for reference.
