MORE BIOGRAPHY
Methuen & Co., 1929. First Edition. Hardcover. 4to, ix, [2], 2-108pp. 4to, tan paper-over-boards backed in beige cloth, paper title labels to spine and front cover. Edges worn, covers a bit foxed, text clean and fresh. A follow-up to his 'Biography for Beginners', with more examples of his eponymous 'Clerihew' poetic form, a neccessarily biographical and humorous AABB rhyming scheme which he first codified as a fellow student of G.K. Chesterton's at St. Paul's School. Illustrated by the author and his brother, Nicolas Bentley, Victor Reingranum, as well as the author's childhood friend, schoolmate, and fellow mystery writer, G. K. Chesterton. Bentley dedicated his seminal modern mystery 'Trent's Last Case' to Chesterton. VERY GOOD. Item #511289
