Well, Charles, you can say how many you got right!
My score was three.
Three to beat, Charles - can you do it?
Splendid stuff, Darren!

Yes, I can just see Messrs Hutchinson publishing that sort of material... This is certainly new to me, though I have seen some similar examples - described in the catalogue as 'lewd doggerel' - offered at auction about twenty-five years ago. You really are doing a splendid job Darren, unearthing hit...

Rollo Ahmed Article in latest issue of FT
No, not that pink financial daily, but the journal of strange phenomena. The latest (July) issue of Fortean Times includes an eight-page feature on Rollo Ahmed, which includes many references to (and quotes from) DW. The illustrations include that nice portrait of Joan and Dennis from 1933. Another ...

Dear KLP85, Sorry for the delay in replying to you, but I was abroad at the time you posted your comments. No, I hadn't been able to confirm the identity of the cover artist, so I'm most interested (and pleased) to learn that my guess was correct; Diana Younger's style at that time was certainly qui...

I have just returned from holiday, and amongst the post waiting for me were two parcels from Finland. Soon, therefore, I will be sending Charles images of two rather nice pictorial covers of Finnish editions of The Fabulous Valley and Uncharted Seas, which I hope he will be able to add to the websit...

Hi Darren, Interesting stuff indeed. I was aware that the serialisation of 'The Devil Rides Out' was 'abridged', so I suppose it follows that the other serialisations would be abridged too. As DW's novels were notoriously longer than the average for their day (or so he claimed), I suppose some editi...

Fu Manchu Article in Fortean Times
For those who may be interested in another great author of thrillers, the current issue (Christmas) of Fortean Times (the journal of strange phenomena) has an article by Phil Baker about Sax Rohmer, the creator of the infamous criminal mastermind Fu Manchu. This coincides with the recent publication...

It would certainly be good to mark the anniversary in some way. I'd only really looked at one hundredth anniversaries before, but eighty years is a good excuse to celebrate a DW landmark such as that. Since our 'Centenary' Field Trip to Traben-Trarbach, I've been looking for other centenaries to mar...

[font=Times New Roman] [/font]Thanks for confirming that, Charles. Shock horror! I've just noticed that one of my Sixth Convention bookmarks has the wrong year upon it!!! Sorry everyone - I'll blame a computer error for that one. How very nice of you all not to mention it... Franklin suggested we mi...
