A Story-Teller's Holiday
Paperback
(Forgotten Books Dec. 2, 2017)
Excerpt from A Story-Teller's Holiday
Another reader crosses his legs and meditates: George Moore was never welcome in Grub Street for he wished to write for men and women of letters, and this class is not recognised by the libraries as readers of books; strange that it should be so, but it is so; for whilst there are books for astronomers, for scientists, for doctors, for lawyers, for golfers, for cricketers, for chess players, for yachtsmen, and as for young girls in their teens, voluminous literature awaits them every year, there are no books written for men and women of letters exclusively. By private print ing our author has cut himself off from many readers, but the alternative was for him to cease writing.
