Charles Davis tells us about
this story from the Independent.
“Four decades after they were last seen, an archive of letters and manuscripts belonging to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has surfaced at a legal
firm in London.
The last mention of the papers was in the authorised biography of the creator of Sherlock Holmes, by John Dickson Carr, in 1949.
The papers will go on display in May before 3,000 items are auctioned by Christie’s, London, on 19 May. They are expected to fetch £2m.
Some items, particularly letters to his mother, will go to the British Library under the terms of a family bequest.” Read more here.
