Conan Doyle (1859-1930) will always be remembered for the character of Sherlock Holmes, but he was a prolific writer-of short stories, of science fiction and historical fiction-including The Exploits of Brigadier Gerard. In his comprehensive biography, Pearson considers how his life is reflected in his books-including his background as a doctor and his enduring (and public) belief in spiritualism.
"Tim Pigott-Smith's performance is the perfect fit for Pearson's revealing biography of the man who created the world's greatest detective-Sherlock Holmes. Pigott-Smith has a flexible, fluid voice, and he sound comfortable telling this rags-to-riches account of Doyle's life. …This excellent production is punctuated by charming musical interludes, and Pigott-Smith's outstanding handling of nuance makes the audiobook all the better." © 2015 AudioFile
