A propos de cet article

Copyright 1925, but that's inherited from the Doubleday, Page original. This Grosset & Dunlap reprint, while a handsome book in reflex blue boards with a two-color title page, is probably a year or so later. Unusual in jacket, even in this G&D reprint. (This jacket is "good only," missing the top quarter-inch of its spine, with more chips to the front panel, as well as some diagonal creasing to bottom right corner of said front panel.) The author attended New College, Oxford, for three years on a Rhodes scholarship. In 1917 he got his start as an editor for the Ladies' Home Journal, then moved on to the Philadelphia Evening Public Ledger as a reporter and columnist. Morley's first novel, "Parnassus on Wheels," appeared in 1917. The protagonist, traveling bookseller Roger Mifflin, appears again in his second novel, "The Haunted Bookshop" (1919.) In 1920 Morley returned to New York to write a column for the New York Evening Post. He was one of the founders and a longtime contributing editor of the Saturday Review of Literature. A devoted fan of Sherlock Holmes, in 1934 he helped found The Baker Street Irregulars with William Gillette, Vincent Starrett, Alexander Woollcott, and Gene Tunney. He was also one of the first judges for the Book of the Month Club, serving in that position until his health began to fail in the early 1950s. Author of more than 100 novels, books of essays, and volumes of poetry, Morley is probably best known for his 1939 novel "Kitty Foyle," filmed by RKO in 1940 (Ginger Rogers, Academy Award for "Best Actress.") Here, Morley "looks at maturity, individual growth, and human nature." "Thunder on the Left" was adapted as a play by Jean Ferguson Black in 1934. 273 pp. Reduced from $52.…
