Watson & Doyle
A True Story Hidden in Plain Sight
|
The world thinks it knows the story of Sherlock Holmes. For over a century, millions of readers have enjoyed the detective's adventures, never questioning that Arthur Conan Doyle, a Scottish doctor with literary ambitions, invented the whole thing from scratch. Holmes, Watson, 221b Baker Street—all products of one man's imagination.
But what if the greatest mystery surrounding Sherlock Holmes isn't one of his cases, but the truth of his very existence? What if Holmes and Watson were real people? Watson & Doyle presents an alternative history—a secret chronicle that's been buried for over a hundred years. It tells the story of how Arthur Conan Doyle didn't just write the Holmes stories. He collaborated with the actual detective and his physician companion to bring their real cases to the public. This book chronicles six years of that partnership—the friendship, the collaboration, and occasionally, the friction. Along the way, you'll see how some of literature's most famous stories really came together, what it cost the people involved, and how three very different men maintained one of publishing's greatest secrets. Watson & Doyle - Part 1 consists of 35 Chapters, and covers the time period beginning January, 1886 through December, 1893. It follows the actual events surrounding life of Arthur Conan Doyle and the first 26 stories of the Canon.
