Upon returning to England in 1886, he tied the knot with Constance Doyle, the sister of the legendary author, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, in 1893. Dive into this rich narrative that weaves through Hornungs life in England and France, his adventures in Australia, and his familial ties to literary greatness.Copyright Nighttime Radio Art Literary History & Criticism World
