Interpretation During Books Complete Works of Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes)
The life of Arthur Conan Doyle illustrates the excitement and diversity of the Victorian age unlike that of any other figure of the period. In his autobiography, he wrote: I have had a life which, for variety and romance, could, I think, hardly be exceeded. He was not wrong. But Conan Doyle was also a Victorian with a twist, a man of tensions and contradictions. He was fascinated by travel, exploration, invention, and indeed all things modern and technological; yet at the same time very traditional, voicing support for values such as chivalry, duty, constancy, and honour. By the time of his death he was a celebrity, achieving worldwide fame for his creation of the rationalist, scientific super-detective Sherlock Holmes; but his later decades were taken up with advocacy of the new religion of Spiritualism, in which he became a devoted believer.Be Specific About Books Concering Complete Works of Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes)

As far as I can remember, I have never enjoyed English literature more than I enjoyed the works of A. C. Doyle. That sums it all up.This book was on my reading list for many many years. But, this happens to be my first book on Kindle. So, I enjoyed both-reading the books and reading on Kindle. Following books have given immense satisfaction while reading the voluminous volume.1 A Study in Scarlet.2 The Sign of The Four.3. The Adventures of Sherlock Homes4. The Memoir of Sherlock Homes.5. The Hounds of Baskervilles.That leaves reading the remaining book: The Return of Sherlock Homes.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was truly an absolutely brilliant writer with a very clever imagination.Greatly loved and sadly missed.RIP.CyPoet~<3 3/11/14
Confession: I haven't read his complete works! I have read most of the fiction however, I discovered this by finishing Rodney Stone and a couple short stories. I realized that I read them before. So I've read as much as I care to, not even approaching his voluminous non-fiction works. I must say I don't like any of his fiction nearly as well as his Sherlock Holmes canon. He can roll in his grave all he likes! The only stories that I enjoyed nearly as well are his short stories of Brigadier
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has long been one of my most favorite authors since childhood for I bore & still carry great affinity for his wonderful fictitious creation Sherlock Holmes. I do deep in these ever enchanting stories even now. I pay my homage to the Great Sherlock Holmes & its Creator Sir Doyle.
One of the best writers I have ever come across.
Arthur Conan Doyle is campy but fun. I particularly enjoy reading the historical footnotes to get a glimpse into not only 19th century London, but into both Doyle and his fantastical Sherlock's minds.
