Publisher's Synopsis

Through The Magic Door is a collection of essays written by Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of the world-famous detective, Sherlock Holmes. The book is a literary tour through Doyle's personal library, where he discusses his favourite books and authors, and the impact they have had on his life and writing. Doyle shares his thoughts on a wide range of topics, including the power of literature to transport readers to other worlds and times, the importance of reading for personal growth and development, and the role of imagination in shaping our lives. He also provides insights into his own writing process and the inspiration behind some of his most famous works.Through The Magic Door is a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of the greatest writers of the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is a must-read for anyone interested in literature, writing, or the life and works of Arthur Conan Doyle.It must be admitted that, looking back upon history, we have not always been good allies, nor yet generous co-partners in the battlefield. The first is the fault of our politics, where one party rejoices to break what the other has bound. The makers of the Treaty are staunch enough, as the Tories were under Pitt and Castlereagh, or the Whigs at the time of Queen Anne, but sooner or later the others must come in.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
