Renowned mystery author Arthur Conan Doyle and famous illusionist Harry Houdini first met in 1920, during the magician's tour of England. At the time, Conan Doyle had given up his lucrative writing career, killing off Sherlock Holmes in the process, in order to concentrate on his increasingly manic interest in Spiritualism. Houdini, who regularly conducted s ances in an attempt to reach his late mother, was also infatuated with the idea of what he called a living afterlife, though his enthusiasm came to be tempered by his ability to expose fraudulent mediums, many of whom employed crude variations of his own well-known illusions. Using previously unpublished material on the murky relationship between Houdini and Conan Doyle, this sometimes macabre, sometimes comic tale tells the fascinating story of the relationship between two of the most loved figures of the twentieth century and their pursuit of magic and lost loved ones.

Sweet, Simple, and Full of Love🙌🏽❤️
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
I Love Dad” is such a precious little book, especially if you’re a fan of The Very Hungry Caterpillar. It keeps that same classic Eric Carle charm—bright, colorful illustrations and a sweet, simple message that really tugs at your heart. It’s the perfect way for little ones to express love for Dad in a fun and meaningful way. My daughter loved pointing out the animals and colors, and it’s become one of our go-to bedtime reads. 🥹 The wording is short and sweet, it’s easy for toddlers to understand, and perfect for new readers to follow along. It also makes such a thoughtful gift for Father’s Day, a baby shower, or just because. If you’re looking for a feel-good story that celebrates dads with love and playfulness, this book is a total gem. 💙📖
