Hardcover. Condición: Good. 169 pages. pp 169 illus slight foxing on prelims d/jSince the death on Christmas Eve in 1961 of the man known to millions of readers world-wide as Frank Richards, there have been many attempts to write his biogra phy.Unfortunately, until now, no such work has been published, to the re gret of tens of thousands of his admirers, because one cannot read enough about the man who gave such pleasure to so many generations f readers, from 1908 to th e present day.Frank Richards' famous characters Billy Bunter, Harry Whar ton, Arthur Augustus D'Arcy in the 'Magnet' and 'Gem' have been analysed and dis cussed times without number. Hundreds of articles in every kind of publication f rom 'Encounter' to 'Titbits' have touched on the Frank Richards stories. To add something new to the mountain of extant material on Frank Richards' the man turn ed out to be even more daunting a task.Clearly Frank Richards went out o f his way to avoid shedding anything but the smallest glimmer of light upon his personal life.

But Frank richards is history now, and history canno t be suppressed/Here then is the exhaustively researched story of the ma n whose writings delighted - and continue to delight - readers of all ages and f rom all walks of life: the creative phenomenon known to the world as Frank Richa rds, born Charles St John Hamilton. By the time of his death at Kingsgate at he age of 86 it is estimated that he had written the equivalent of 1000 full-length novels.…
