Bertram Fletcher Robinson was a great friend of Arthur Conan Doyle and a prolific writer, who tragically died aged just thirty-six in 1907. His collaboration was crucial to the revival of Sherlock Holmes in ACD's best-known tale, ''The Hound of the Baskervilles''. This volume is described as a 'footnote' to that story and while there is much of value to Sherlock Holmes fans, I got little impression of BFR the man, despite the meticulously recorded details which the authors have painstakingly uncovered.
Further reading: For further reading, as mentioned above, [[On the Trail of Arthur Conan Doyle: An Illustrated Devon Tour by Brian W Pugh and Paul R Spiring]] is ideal for anyone thinking of retracing the literary steps of ACD and BFR. [[The Adventures of Arthur Conan Doyle by Russell Miller]] was described by Bookbag's reviewer as ''compulsively readable''.
