The Norwood Author

Arthur Conan Doyle and the Norwood Years (1891 - 1894)

By: Alistair Duncan

Narrated by: J.T. McDaniel

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is one of the most written about men who ever lived but despite this, some parts of his life get little attention. One such period is between 1891 and 1894 when he lived in South Norwood in present day south east London.

During this period, he wrote and published much of his best work including the first two series of Sherlock Holmes short stories. This book looks at his life during this period and, in contrast to other biographies, spends time looking at some of his input into local Norwood life.

Deciding What To Do

The period that this book covers is when Arthur Conan Doyle has given up medicine and lives the life of a well known author. Even though he no longer practiced medicine, he still kept “Doctor” before his name, while entertaining many authors and famous people.

Excellent

Very interesting biographical information and background on Arthur Conan Doyle. The narration is very good.
