Soft cover. Etat : Good. 1st Edition. P.E.N. stands for the international association of Poets, Essayists, Editors, and Novelists. The following is excerpted from the book's write-up on the rear cover : " Marjorie Watts, P.E.N.'s first secretary, and the daughter of its founder, C. A. Dawson Scott (novelist, poet, and spiritualist), tells for the first time the story of the beginnings of today's world-wide association. In this account from the inside many great figures are glimpsed - names like Karel Capek, and Bernard Shaw, Gerhart Hauptmann, Anatole France, Ernst Toller, and Thomas Masaryk. Mrs. Dawson Scott and John Galsworthy , P.E.N.'s first president with whom she worked so closely, met a great many of their contemporaries. Extracts from her letters and diary vividly recall the lively world she knew, and supply some clues to understanding how her 'idea' of a society to further 'friendliness between writers all over the world' was transformed into a great international association with such astonishing speed." Said novelist Storm Jameson : " I am fascinated by the vivid portraits of the about-to-be famous (or forgotten) writers of a dozen countries . It's an extremely well-written book, unsentimental, tart without malice, lucid, and it gives a very fine account of the P.E.N. in its crucial formative years : an account no one else could have given" Booknoodle, here : I find extremely interesting the photograph of the first annual P.E.N. dinner, which is included in the book. Simply amazing the wonderful talent sitting around the tables. I've shown the page that identifies the persons in the photograph. There is a handsome photo portrait of Amy Dawson Scott. This is a scarce book, being one of the few copies appearing on line. TITLE : P.E.N.
