Books about J B Priestley
J B Priestley recommends
Ashenden: Or the British Agent (1928) W Somerset Maugham "A fine narrative craft... an author who has always been completely, honestly himself." | Juan in America (1931) Eric Linklater "It is a magnificent frolic." | The Big Sleep (1939) (Philip Marlowe) Raymond Chandler "Mr Raymond Chandler seems to me the best American detective-story writer in the tough and tense Dashiell Hammett tradition." | |
The Best Short Stories of M P Shiel (1948) M P Shiel "If by genius we mean amazing ideas, flashes of real imagination, wild originality, then we must grant it him." |
