Book condition : very good. From the publisher : The publishers of On Becoming Writer invited Vera Brittain to write a book which would help would-be authors to master the preliminaries of their craft. She has responded in a characteristic and original fashion, which lucidly conveys her wide vision of the functions of authorship. While supplying in full and efficient detail the practical advice required, she has produced a book that will delight all readers who are interested in the lives and work of writers. Many personal stories are included, combined with frank, stimulating, and occasionally sardonic com ments based on her own experience of both new and established writers. We con fidently recommend this book, not only to beginners, but to all who seek to enlarge their understanding of literature and life.
