NEW EPISODE: 'The Man from Archangel' (1885). John McVittie is interrupted when two strangers are shipwrecked near his remote coastal estate... Chat about: misanthropes, unreliable narrators, nihilists, whether this really was ACD's favourite, and gun maintenance. bit.ly/DODoyle; bit.ly/DOD063sn

I read this beauty a few months back + loved it.
Thanks @jfmachin.bsky.social & @edinburghup.bsky.social for another top level, fascinating Conan Doyle book in this magnificent series. Excuse the scruffy haphazard note-taking I did whilst reading it, everyone else does this sort of thing, right? 🤓🫣

Oh yes 😻😘

Got this t’other day off eBay: read it cover to cover asap. What a Doylean treasure trove of tantalising info & fascinating ephemera it is! Going to re-read it again & this time take notes - something which ACD says is essential when reading - but I failed to note that quote first time round 🤣🫣😩

A recent acquisition from the lovely Mr Phillip Bergem… finding this an immensely useful reference and research tool ❤️😻👍 #arthurconandoyle

This month in 1910, The London Magazine first published #ArthurConanDoyle's 'The Last of the Legions.' The story is referenced on the cover of the US edition of 'The Last Galley' (1911).

Always brings a smile to my face and joy to see this pop through my letterbox - thanks @acdsociety.bsky.social ❤️🙏

This month in 1883, London Society first published #ArthurConanDoyle's 'The Silver Hatchet' in its Christmas edition. Festive! https://buff.ly/3dtvSsZ

Been reading the latest @edinburghup.bsky.social Works of Conan Doyle with the old @oxunipress.bsky.social ed as it’s great to revisit Richard Lancelyn Green’s more in-depth extensive, speculative notes… got his ‘memorial’ book from SHSOL & read cover to cover - what an inspiration RLG still is ❤️

This month in 1892, The Idler first published #ArthurConanDoyle's 'The Los Amigos Fiasco.' https://buff.ly/3lcmHRY

OTD in 1918, John Murray published the first edition of 'Danger! and Other Stories.' The title story was the focus of our fourth episode. https://buff.ly/3w9ep08

"It is most certainly to you that I owe Sherlock Holmes". Letter dated 1892 from Arthur Conan Doyle to Joseph Bell, crediting him as the inspiration for his literary detective. Bell was born OTD 1837. Doyle was clerk on Bell's ward at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh in 1877 while a medical student
