  • Résumé

  • Sherlock Holmes is the most portrayed fictional character of all time, and he has been reimagined by actors, playwrights and directors over centuries - but who is the creator behind the detective?

    Arthur Conan Doyle's own life was often stranger than fiction, and his most famous characters' stories and personalities bear more than a passing resemblance to his own life and his closest friends. Biographer and broadcaster Lucinda Hawksley gains unprecedented access to a treasure trove of Doyle's never-before-seen personal letters and diaries. This is a chance for Sherlock fans to see their detective hero and his creator as they've never seen them before.

    Through interviews with Doyle aficionados, academics, actors and family members, we explore Doyle's travels and sailing adventures across the globe, his pioneering work as a doctor, his life in the Freemasons and his fights against miscarriages of justice. As well as his many triumphs, we will also explore the challenges he faced, from the death of his first wife and son to the initial rejection he faced as an author.

    We will also look beyond Sherlock to Doyle's other great works including his fantasy and science fiction novels and hear how one of his most famous - The Lost World - part-inspired Michael Crichton's book of the same name, which became the successful Jurassic Park film franchise.

Informative

I loved it! It was extremely interesting. It was full of interviews with experts, distant relatives, audio clips of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle himself, his daughter, actor Bill Patterson (Ned Gowan on 'Outlander'), etc.

extremely repetitive

I adore Sherlock Holmes, but I did not enjoy this audiobook. It was very repetitive. There were so many teasers for upcoming interviews that by the time I got to the interview it felt stale. Also, it felt as if I was listening to a TV show without being able to see what was happening.
