For as long as he can remember, Ben Fogle has been surrounded by creatures great & small. As a young boy his best friends were Liberty & Lexington, the family dogs. Then there was Milly the puma-sized cat, Jaws the goldfish & three very 'charismatic' parrots, not to mention a whole host of weird & wonderful animals that came through the doors of his father's veterinary practice. Then came Inca, Ben's adorable black Labrador, who changed his life. Since first melting the nation's heart on Castaway, the duo have been inseparable. With Inca's help, Ben was soon charming worms & tickling trout on Countryfile, minding the big cats on Animal Park & fronting the BBC's coverage of Crufts.

As the creator of Sherlock Holmes, 'the world's most famous man who never was', Arthur Conan Doyle remains one of our favourite writers; his work is read with affection
- & sometimes obsession
- the world over. Writer, doctor, cricketer, public figure & family man, his life was no less fascinating than his fiction. During his lifetime Conan Doyle wrote more than 1, 500 letters to members of his family, most notably his mother, revealing his innermost thoughts, fears & hopes: Russell Miller is the first biographer to have been granted unlimited access to Conan Doyle's private correspondence. He also makes use of the writer's personal papers, unseen for many years, & is the first book to draw fully on the Richard Lancelyn Green archive, the world's most comprehensive collection of Conan Doyle material. Told with panache, this book is an unprecedently full portrait of an enduringly popular figure.
