About this book
Until her death in 1920, Arthur Conan Doyle's mother, Mary Foley, was the person he most often confided with, as over a thousand of their letters attest. The story of his efforts to create a medical practice, writing short stories as a pastime, is followed by a chronicle of growing success. Further correspondence reveals a man of high morals, who stalwartly held his convictions on politics, Spiritualism, and a determination to right the wrongs he found in the world.
