Description
Though Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s name is recognized the world over, for decades the man himself has been overshadowed by his better understood creation, Sherlock Holmes, who has become one of literature’s most enduring characters. The first biographer to gain access to Conan Doyle’s newly released personal archive — which includes correspondence, diaries, original manuscripts and more — Lycett combines assiduous research with penetrating insight to offer the most comprehensive, lucid and sympathetic portrait yet of Conan Doyle’s personal journey from student to doctor, from world-famous author to ardent spiritualist.

Description
A few facts, of course, are widely known: Peter Pan made Barrie the richest author of his time, and he bequeathed the royalties to the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children. It is not an exaggeration to say that Barrie?s entire life?both his professional triumphs as a writer and his personal tragedies?led up to the creation of Peter Pan, the play where ?all children except one grow up.?
