A confession

I have begun reading "A Duet" which is one of many works that ACD composed during his residence at Undershaw. Like many people I came to ACD through Sherlock Holmes and have not read many of his non-Holmes works. I have, of course, read "Memories and Adventures" and have dipped into such works as
"Through the Magic Door" but I have never been able to persevere.

Why is this? Perhaps it's because I only want Holmes. I honestly don't know. However I will finish "A Duet" which is proving charmingly entertaining.
