Versatile and prolific British author whose oeuvre includes such classic novels as Brighton Rock and The Power and the Glory and the screenplay for the classic thriller The Third Man. TLS, one page, 6 x 8, personal letterhead, December 30, 1988. The author responds to a fan. In part: “I think perhaps the best book for your purpose would be Brighton Rock. The four books which I prefer are The Power & the Glory, The Honorary Consul, Brighton Rock and Travels with My Aunt. Travels with My Aunt however is a comic book and therefore perhaps would not suit your examiners!” In fine condition, with usual mailing fold. R&R COA.
