Teller of Tales

Daniel Stashower

More than a hundred years have passed since the creation of Sherlock Holmes, perhaps the most famous fictional character of all time. But while the legendary detective lives on in the popular imagination, the man who created him is often overlooked or misunderstood. This fresh and compelling biography examines the extraordinary life and strange contrasts of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the struggling provincial doctor who became the most popular storyteller of his age.

"I have had a life which, for variety and romance, could, I think, hardly be exceeded," Conan Doyle once wrote. Teller of Tales presents that story with rare panache.

"A Gripping, sympathetic [biography] that proves that Doyle was anything but elementary."
