Recenzii
It is one of the great achievements of Douglas Kerr's fine book that it reconciles the contradiction between Conan Doyles commitment to scientific thinking and his credulity over the Cottingley case. And this paradox is only one of many that Kerr exposes and addresses. Conan Doyle: Writing,Profession and Practice is thoroughly researched but wears its learning lightly; it is satisfyingly substantial but winningly elegant at the level of the sentence: it is a joy and an education to read.
finely nuanced ... a complex study of a writer whose legacy remains striking and memorable, but never simple.
