About this eBook
Arthur Conan Doyle was a prolific writer proficient in a number of genres. He authored historical works - Micah Clarke, The White Company, and The Great Shadow to name a few - and more than 100 short stories unrelated to Sherlock Holmes. He also wrote an operetta, the Professor Challenger and Captain Sharkey stories, three volumes of poetry, fifteen nonfiction books, and numerous newspaper articles calling attention to the plight of the less fortunate. And when this immensely talented man wasn't writing, he played cricket, rugby, or golf, sharpened his already impressive photographic skills, or crusaded for social justice. Here, in this short-form book by award-winning journalist Robert Wernick, is his extraordinary story.
About the author
Salvador Dali once called him the stupidest man in the world; Cary Grant described him as the smartest. New York Times bestselling author Robert Wernick is certainly talented. He has penned more than a dozen books and has contributed to a host of magazines, ranging from Life to Vanity Fair. His topics are as varied as the birth of town planning in the Mesolithic Age to a soul-baring Ferris-wheel ride with Marilyn Monroe to a climb up Mount Sinai.
