RICHARDS FRANK: (1876-1961) English Writer, creator of Billy Bunter. T.L.S., Charles Hamilton (his real name), two pages, 4to, London, 28th September 1944, to Mr. Bagley. Hamilton briefly discusses his memoirs before continuing with his views on writing methods, stating, '"Plotting Technique" interests me particularly as I have never had any plotting technique of my own. I have lived for over fifty years by writing stories; but I still have not the remotest idea of how a story comes into existence' further adding, 'Sometimes I have written to a synopsis to please the editor who did not know any better, but it always seemed to me that a story written to a set pattern lacked life; there was little spontaneity in it; it was in fact a mere "catalogue of ships". My own system… to sit at the typewriter, think on the subject I wanted to write about, and smoke a pipe till the idea germinated' Richards concludes by discussing 'the howler' in Poe's 'The Raven', 'The odd thing is that I had known it by heart, and run it over in my mind unnumbered times, for well over thirty years, before the howler dawned on me. Obviously - after one had spotted it! - The Raven could cast no shadow on the floor...' and of his next publication, 'You may be interested to hear that Frank Richards will have a story in "Christmas Pie" this year. You would never guess how pleased the old bean will be to see it there.' With slight traces of former mounting to the left edge of the verso and minor age wear. About VG
