The Great Detective
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has admitted that when he first saw the artist's conception of his great detective, he received a shock.
I don't wish to labour this point unduly, but Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has admitted that when he first saw the artist's conception of his great detective, he received a shock, for he had a very different type of person in mind when he wrote the stories. I don't suppose the difference of opinion still rankles, for the doctor is a fair-minded man and would be the first to admit how much he owes to his collaborator.
