I once heard that some agent for a publisher once had a meeting with Arthur Conan Doyle and Oscar Wilde and they hashed out an agreement to each write a novel for the publisher. Wilde came up with The Picture of Dorian Gray, and Doyle came up with The Sign of Four.

Is that true at all? Is that the kind of thing you'd know?

If we are to believe Doyle himself, this is perfectly true. The dinner took place in August 1889, and the editor's name was Joseph Stoddart. While describing this evening, Doyle wrote, by the way, that The Picture was "a book which is surely upon a high moral plane".

They were friends with Wilde, which I think is awfully sweet.

That's a kind of thing I'd know :)

OMG I've never heard about this before, but that's really cool :)
