Norah Smaridge: Atlantic Deception
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
NORAH SMARIDGE (1903-1994) was an English-born American author of great versatility, having written numerous children's books, as well as adult novels, serials, poems, book notes, television scripts, how-to articles and translations. . . She had written quantities of verse and stories for British magazines and continued to send her articles abroad from the U.S., whilst also working in a bookshop, for a literary agency, and as a copywriter. Her first novel, Atlantic Deception [this item], was published in England in 1938. With the onset of WWII, and communications becoming difficult and uncertain, she turned to American markets. Her next book, a juvenile title, Ludi: The Little St. Bernard, was published in the U.S. in 1956, and Nando of the Beach (1958) and Sunday Best (1959) soon followed, sparking a literary career that would span the next two decades. Generally good-to-fair condition. No highlighting or other notes, except a pen inscription "3 Mess / lay off" on title page and a sum on the inside front cover. Page 11/12 has become detached. Board covers are intact but discoloured in places. Hence relatively low price for this scarce item.
