SIR A. CONAN DOYLE:
I do find an air of unreality about Dickens. It all becomes an amusing fairy tale, with the exception of "Edwin Drood," which would have been one of his best, and a few others. But Scott stands time splendidly. I admire him more and more. I put him within measurable distance of Shakespeare.
