[Letter] 1919 December 5 [to] / Eden Phillpotts.

About this Paged Content

Phillpotts writes to thank the recipient for his courteous note. Phillpotts states that the book _The sinews of war; a romance of London and the sea_ (1906) was written with Arnold Bennett and that they were approached with an offer for a "cheap edition" but Pinker, Bennett's agent, turned it down and now the book "had better be regarded as dead." In any case, Phillpotts opines, "the prices offered for translations... are never worth considering." In addition to collaborating on _The statue, a story of international intrigue and mystery_ (1908) with Bennett, Phillpotts ouevre also includes mysteries, comedies, and narrative poems; these continued to be in print from the 1890s well into the 1930s.
