In this penultimate volume of the often-shocking erotic memoirs of a late Victorian gentleman, we discover 'Walter', a self-confessed sex addict, now extending his search for sexual discovery and satisfaction to even wilder extremes. Now the recipient of several inheritances, he is able to travel widely and taste the fleshpots of other countries. As the editor of the series, Sherlock Holmes authority and Conan Coyle biographer and afficionado, Kelvin I Jones, suggests, this anonymous autobiography shows a degree of obsession, self-deprecating frankness and unflattering honesty, sadly missing in the great wealth of erotic novels published in the period of the fin de siecle. For some writers of the period, like Oscar Wilde, 'decadence' was to have devastating effects on their reputations and careers. Not so the enigmatic Walter, whose extraordinary account of his phallic pilgrimage was soon to disappear behind a veil of obscurity until the 1960s.

Starting with a look at Conan Doyle's family and his Celtic roots, Kelvin Jones charts his growing interest in spiritualism from his Jesuit education as a boy to his rather sceptical introduction to the phenomena at the end of the nineteen centry. He goes on to illustrate how Conan Doyle's belief in spiritualism was deepened by the works of leading psychic researchers, such as F. W. H. Myers, and his joining of the Society for Psychical Research. The book examines many of his own experiments and research and discusses several of his spiritualist stories and articles. -- Cover, page [4]
