DW's First Gift Box

Dear All, As you know, DW's First Gift Box (see page http://www.denniswheatley.info/firsteditions02.htm) is a very rare item. I think I have only ever seen two complete Boxes, although I have also very occasionally seen individual books that must have come out of such sets - they are characterised b...

Both sad (insofar as some of the buildings have disappeared) and seriously interesting.

Thank you, Darren.

Does this mean a Field Trip to Tesco next time ? :D :D :D

I shall have a re-read tomorrow, there's so much of interest in that article !

All best !

Thanks, Jim for that typically well researched piece on a snippet of DW's life that I for one didn't know about. Yes, it's interesting he couldn't come up with a better argument for his old pal Howard Spring - about whom, as I recall, he had lots of fond memories reproduced in Drink & Ink. I lov...

I daresay there is a condolences book on one or more of his fan sites.

If there is, it would be nice if someone put something there on behalf of the DW community ...

Again all best ...

There can be no doubt that the debt DW fans owe to Sir Christopher is enormous. Not only was he a good friend and publicist for DW (not that DW needed much help on the latter score :D ), but he also gave us the definitive rendering of the Duke de Richleau - and thereafter told all who would listen t...

Nicely spotted - I had missed it !

Happy Birthday to DW's good friend, and the man who did such a splendid job of portraying the Duke de Richleau.

What a pity he was unable to film a sequel !

Jim : I have not yet read Alison Sage's "Fleshcreepers" version of The Devil Rides Out , but I wonder if that's closer to the 1968 Hammer film than to the original 1934 book. Jim, my advice is simple, with apologies to Alison Sage, who 'retold it'. Don't ! You won't enjoy it if you're anyt...
