Graham Greene writes:<\/p>\n

I remember distinctly the suddenness with which a key turned in a lock and I found I could read \u2013 not just the sentences in a reading book with the syllables coupled like railway carriages, but a real book.<\/p>\n

This book is a\u00a0 collection of essays about authors, Greene\u2019s childhood and reading. The Times Literacy Supplement wrote about the book:<\/p>\n

The individual studies constantly please the reader with wit, stimulate with imagination, move him to admiration by their original thinking, and by the excellence of their writing.\u00a0 ( Book Jacket)<\/p>\n

Published\u00a0 first in 1951, this book is an early work of non fiction of the author who went on to write such well known works as Travels with my Aunt<\/em>,\u00a0 Brighton Rock<\/em>, and The Quiet American<\/em>. Much of his work reflected his \"File:GrahamCatholic upbringing and explored moral and social issues.\u00a0 The author of more than fifty books during a sixty-year career, Graham Greene (1904\u20131991) unquestionably ranks among the twentieth century’s great writers.
