Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

My introduction to the world of books and perpetuating captivity in bibliophilic realms. Oh shame Mr. Doyle; every prayer - a page and Paradise raised as The Library of Congress.

A brilliant one, Andrea, congratulations:)

This is a wonderful Clerihew.The last line is so humorous. Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes lives on, outshining the author. Hearty Congratulations on your top win... Andrea.

Dear Andrea, a fun clerihew. Love the last line lol. Congratulations for your wonderful win in Brian’s contest. Warmest wishes my friend.. ~Susan

Wouldn't put it past him, Doyle believing in gnomes, that is. Clever tribute here, Andrea. ~ Gershon

I have been past his old house, which was in Quite a state of disrepair 30 years ago Andrea There is a freemasons temple ( the authors Lodge its called by members ) in Crowbrough, i was instrumental in leading one of them to the Light Of Christ.' I beleive he mr Doyle must have been a mason In that regard..I know he was an opium addict Strange the paths people take in life.'

A nice bit of info that would explain Dr. Watson possibly being the gnome? Cheerio, Andrea, and cheers for placing in Brian's contest! Aloha, William

Excellent Clerihew, Dear Andrea! I loved his stories - who doesn't admire his brilliant character "Sherlock Holmes"!

Great tribute to a great writer. His books were the first I read. And I loved his films too. Blessings.
