Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
A Life

by Hesketh Pearson

Read by Tim Pigott-Smith

Produced by Nicolas Soames

Conan Doyle (1859–1930) will always be remembered for the character of Sherlock Holmes, but he was a prolific writer – of short stories, of science fiction and historical fiction – including The Exploits of Brigadier Gerard. In his comprehensive biography, Pearson considers how his life is reflected in his books – including his background as a doctor and his enduring (and public) belief in spiritualism.
