Dear Ian,
Many thanks - I'll certainly have a read ... I'm looking forward to it and hope it does well !
Fourteen was definitely a good age to start reading DW ... that's when I started too !
Best regards,

On the film side, I'm glad everyone enjoyed 'Alias Nick Beal'. When I was a boy in the early 1960s, it used to be shown regularly on TV in the Sunday matinee slot, and I always thought it was a cut above the usual light weight musicals that were put on. For me it's in the same sphere as 'The Ninth G...

You were both being cautious for my sake and I appreciate it .... if the site is blocked (I hope not !) it will be my fault ! But it seems to me we should be able to include them ... if we can talk about DW's exploits with 'Shitty Bill' Inglis and his amorous escapades in France in World War I (as w...

I like the comparison with nude selfies. Very up-to-date ! As this and parts of the Museum show, human nature doesn't change that much over the years, does it ? These limericks can perhaps be seen as the teenage precusors of his later erotic writing, and especially of his unpublished erotic masterpi...

Actually Darren I think you've exceeded my request ! Thanks to your research we now know that there was at least one Mastermind on each of DW's principal characters - Roger Brook (UK Mastermind - where we have the Questions and Answers), Gregory Sallust (in New Zealand, thanks to Cibator's post .......

At last there seems to be growing respect for this film. Has this film ever been shown at a DW convention? If not, could it happen this year? I can bring a copy. We need to spend more effort in persuading Charles and Stevie P. whom are probably yet to be convinced. The opening paragraph of Stevie P...

Dear Richard, I know we had a brief email exchange earlier, but this is just to add another warm welcome to the site. I would have joined the other posters earlier, but I've been away. Like you, I am an enormous fan of the Duke de Richleau; unlike the others, I am not quite so keen on The Haunting o...

Jim, I am not aware of any complicated copyright issues in relation to the majority of DW's works. Unless someone knows something I don't on this (they may well), perhaps that passage in the Wikipedia entry should be amended. The filming rights - at least for The Devil Rides Out, and possibly for ot...
