WE are a small group of people very interested in the delightful books written by Warwick Deeping (1877-1950), probably the best-known being Sorrel and Son written in 1925 (which went into at least 41 editions and was still in print in the 1970s) and was subsequently made into a film in 1933.
Several of his other 70 books were being reprinted over 20 years after they were first published, and we have been informed that librarians still receive requests for certain titles today.
Our aim is to contact other people who enjoy Deeping's books and between us find out more about the life and works of this once enormously popular novelist.
Anyone who is interested in helping us in this venture can contact me at 23 Merton Road, Enfield, Middlesex, EN2 OLS (020 8367 0263).
GEOFFREY GILLAM, Enfield, Middlesex.
