Jul. 4th, 2012 05:28 pmOkay, a question for anyone who knows. I think it's established that ACD killed off (or tried to) Sherlock Holmes because he wanted to work on other things. I've seen something to that effect.
But what I'm not clear on is that people say he hated the character. It's one thing to want to do other stuff, but it's something else to actually hate doing something.
Does anyone have anything textual they can point to that shows his hatred for Holmes? All I can find is him simply wanting to work on things he thought were more important, which isn't the same thing, really.
