"Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is best remembered as the creator of Sherlock Holmes and as a storyteller of the first rank, but his interests went far wider and he was known in his day as an historian, social reformer, and man of action. This selection from the hundreds of letters which he wrote to the Press will reveal many unfamiliar facets of his character and an unexpectedly wide range of subjects. It includes correspondence from the national papers around the world and from many journals"--Jacket.
