Arthur and Sherlock: Conan Doyle and the Creation of Holmes by Michael Sims

3.0

An interesting look at Arthur Conan Doyle's life leading up to and including his creation of Holmes. It doesn't give much information past the first wave of novels and stories, so it avoids most of his later life, but the focus on the inspiration behind the detective stories was interesting. It was also very nice to get a much more fleshed out image of Arthur Conan Doyle. It helped to make him into more of an 'author' instead of the shadow behind the classics.
