The Mysterious Case of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

(4) YA World Writers series. Quotes from diaries, letters, and interviews (but no excerpts from his fiction) pepper this readable account of Doyle's childhood, medical training, writings, political activities, and interest in spiritualism. Sherlock Holmes fans may be surprised to learn of Doyle's distaste for his creation, which, ironically, was the source of his livelihood. An adulatory conclusion leans a bit too closely to the side of sentimentality. Black-and-white photos accompany the text. Bib., ind.
