The Twisted Sketchbooks of Arthur Conan Doyle’s Father

Charles Altamont Doyle was a brilliant artist and longtime depressive who was in and out of insane asylums. While committed at the Sunnydale asylum, he kept a sketchbook of fairies, demons, sphinxes, huge birds, green goblins, and all kinds of bedtime nightmares. It was a legacy of magical thinking that he would pass on to his son, the creator of Sherlock Holmes. 

“The Father and Son that Believed in Faeries,” by A.N. Devers
