"What I Think"
"It is a volume mainly about books, written, not by critics, but by the far more interesting people who are writing books themselves. They tell you their opinions of the work of the world's masterwriters, and they talk to you about their own. They relate their own experiences in the realms of letters-they let you sit beside their study-tables-they reveal to you the secrets of their fascinating craft. An unrivalled list of famous authors have combined to make this volume."--(p.5)
Giving It Away at The Strand
In early 1916, Arthur Conan Doyle (the versatile and productive Victorian/Edwardian-era writer remembered nowadays mostly for his Sherlock Holmes stories), sent a letter and a package to Herbert Greenhough Smith, his longtime editor at The Strand Magazine. Could it be that Conan Doyle was having a little fun, making a slightly grim legal joke about his demand that the Strand return his old manuscripts? He may well have known enough about intellectual property law, or about the history of publishing, to be aware that some of the most important ownership-of-manuscript lawsuits had involved letters and diaries. And in “The Adventure of the Golden Pince-Nez” (the story in the package Conan Doyle had sent) the killing of an innocent person - a character who might have been based on Herbert Greenhough Smith - happens during a righteous attempt by another person to recover wrongfully withheld letters and a diary.
LIFE Sherlock Holmes
With season 4 of the popular Benedict Cumberbatch series, Sherlock, about to air on BBC One-and another Robert Downey movie about the great detective in the works-LIFE offers a colorful look back on the life and career of the immortal sleuth, along with a biography of his remarkable creator, Arthur Conan Doyle. Did you know that Holmes was based on a real person? Or that Doyle came to hate him? Or that the writer solved more than a few real-life mysteries himself? You'll find that and much more in this entertaining, immersive, informative new book.
