A Study In Southsea A fully detailed account of the life of Dr Arthur Conan Doyle as a resident of Southsea, from his arrival by sea from Plymouth on June 24th 1882 to his departure for pastures new in the last weeks of December 1890. It tells of his success as a doctor, of his friends & neighbours, some of whose names are still familiar in Portsmouth today. How he managed to run his practice, write two novels, a medical research thesis and a score of short stories, play cricket, football & bowles, persue his hobby of photography, act as Secretary of the Literary Society & get married all in one year. It includes a story of his creation of the most famous detective partnership of all time Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. Here also are the authentic dates of the formation of Portsmouth Cricket Club and Portsmouth Football Club plus the secret of their mysterious goalkeeper, A.C. Smith.
