CONAN DOYLE:— Thomas Hardy came nearer to nature in his writing than any other contemporary writer, in my opinion. He was a combination of Richard Jefferies and a great novelist. I remember years ago — about 25 I should say — producing a play while Thomas Hardy was staging his &#039;&#039;Three Strangers&#039;&#039; at the same theatre in London. They were both one-act plays. Sir James Barrie produced one of his short plays at the same time. The &#039;&#039;Three Strangers&#039;&#039; always stands out in my mind. It was a delightful piece. A hangman, as it happened, was the hero. Hardy was a lovable man then and he always remained so.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ----<br /> * [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle:Complete Works|Back to Complete Works]]<br /> * [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle|Back to Conan Doyle]]</div>
