Doyle invites the reader into his library and talks, shelf by shelf, about the books he loves. Macaulay, Boswell’s Johnson, Gibbon, Scott, the eighteenth-century novelists, Poe, Borrow and the great writers of adventure and history all receive affectionate, opinionated attention, with anecdotes and quotations along the way.
A genial book about books, ideal for readers who want suggestions from a master storyteller. Download the free EPUB.
