The following article was published in The District Messenger: The Newsletter of the Sherlock Holmes Society of London (no. 281, 31 March 2008):
Brian Pugh and Paul Spiring worked long and hard researching and writing On the Trail of Arthur Conan Doyle: An Illustrated Devon Tour (The Book Guild Ltd, Pavilion View, 19 New Road, Brighton BN1 1UF; £12.99). The result is not a big book – 136 pages – but it is most attractively presented. Its succinct account of Conan Doyle’s association with Devon and with George Turnavine Budd and Bertram Fletcher Robinson is invaluable, and just to follow the Devon Tour on paper is fascinating. I must declare an interest, as I read through an early draft; I also provided the foreword, which I should not have done if I didn’t think the book worthwhile. It’s remarkable that, despite the recent publication of ACD’s Letters and Andrew Lycett’s formidable biography, there’s still a place (that’s not strong enough: there’s still a need) for carefully researched and well-presented books that concentrate on specific aspects of ACD’s life. On the Trail of Arthur Conan Doyle has a proud place alongside Geoffrey Stavert’s A Study in Southsea and Owen Dudley Edwards’ The Quest for Sherlock Holmes.
