| | Arthur Conan Doyle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Conan Doyle and the Parson's Son -The George Edalji case | | | One of the odder aspects of this period of his life was his book The Coming of the Fairies (1921): He was apparently totally convinced of the veracity of the Cottingley fairy photographs, which he reproduced in the book, together with theories about the nature and existence of fairies and spirits. | | | Samuel Rosenberg's 1974 book Naked is the Best Disguise purports to explain how Doyle left, throughout his writings, open clues that related to hidden and suppressed aspects of his mentality. |

| | Adrian Conan Doyle, youngest son of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, teamed with veteran mystery writer John Dickson Carr to produce a series of short stories developing themes that came out of the official canon of 56 short stories and four novels. | | | Adrian Conan Doyle (with or without John Dickson Carr) tells a straight no-frills tale very much in the spirit of the Sherlockian canon; Holmes doesn't wind up getting married, Watson doesn't turn out to be the real Holmes, et cetera, et cetera. | | | From the son of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and one of America's greatest mystery writers, John Dickson Carr, comes twelve riveting tales based on incidents or elements of the unsolved cases of Sherlock Holmes. |

| | Sherlock Holmes creator Arthur Conan Doyle impressed by Mormons |
| | For at the height of anti-Mormonism on the continent, Arthur Conan Doyle, a struggling 26-year-old Portsmouth physician, had employed less than accurate research in using the Mormons in Utah as a backdrop for his short story. | | | Homer and others since have speculated Conan Doyle, a voracious reader, would have access to books by Fannie Stenhouse, William A. Hickman, William Jarman, John Hyde and Ann Eliza Young among others. | | | Young, in casual conversation with a Salt Lake Tribune reporter, was asked how Conan Doyle could have been so well received in Utah in light of A Study in Scarlet. |

| | The Catholic-born Conan Doyle's scientific training, reinforced by unhappy days with the Jesuits, led him to abandon his faith as a young man. Able to write with stunning clarity about logic and reasoning, he nonetheless developed a fascination with the occult, reading books, attending séances, and looking for proof of communication with the dead. | | | A popular success, the ripping tale went on to become a silent movie released in 1925, which is said to have inspired such sci-fi classics as King Kong, One Million B.C., and Planet of the Apes. | | | Conan Doyle revived him for his reading public, but forbade mention of his name within earshot. |

| | “There are whole lots devoted to particular causes and interests of Conan Doyle, such as all the Boer War material in one large box,” he said. | | | Other items provide intimate glimpses of a man who dearly loved his family — his well-worn wallet contains fond birthday letters from his children and a creased photo of a son who died. | | | In the 1940s and 1960s, two Conan Doyle scholars had access to the papers, but after the death in 1970 of the author’s son Adrian, court battles broke out over the estate, and the collection was locked up in a lawyer’s office for about 25 years. |

| | But he always insisted on his right to tell the truth as he saw it, and this was the reason for the notorious falling-out with Adrian Conan Doyle, who first supported and then vilified Pearson’s life of his father. | | | Personally I think Pearson strains too hard to present Conan Doyle as ‘the man in the street’, just as Adrian strained too hard to present him as a paragon of all the virtues, but when it comes to biography Pearson wins hands down. | | | His fanatical devotion would never have allowed him to accept Pearson’s portrait of Sir Arthur as a spiritually undeveloped and simple thinker. |
