The Doyle diary: The last great Conan Doyle… von Michael Baker

Loved the research, reproduction of [a:Charles Altamont Doyle|345352|Charles Altamont Doyle|http://www.goodreads.com/images/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66.jpg]'s illustrated diary and the photographs.

Didn't go in so much for the way Doyle's biographer tries to wrap the story of Charles Altamont Doyle's life in a Holmesian metaphor. Seems a little twisted to tell the tale of the father in terms dictated by the fictional constructs of the son? Someone more immersed in Freudian theory can tackle explaining why for me!

What is incredible here are the illustrations . . . the elder Doyle was indeed in possession of an indefatigable talent and an eye for an interior life of fantasy that didn't shy too far away from the darker sides of the imagination or of life.

And what an interior life it must have been for this talented, yet troubled man, the grandfather of Sherlock Holmes?
