The Adventures Of Hiram Holliday - Plot & Excerpts
From 1922 to 1936 he worked on the New York Daily News as sports editor, columnist and assistant managing editor. In 1936 he bought a house on top of a hill at Salcombe in South Devon and settled down for a year with a Great Dane and twenty-three assorted cats. It was in 1941 that he made his name with The Snow Goose, a classic little story of Dunkirk which became a world-wide best-seller and is now available in Penguins. Having served as a gunner's mate in the U.S. Navy in 1918, he was again active as a war correspondent with the American Expeditionary Force in 1944. Paul Gallico, who lives in Monaco, is a first-class fencer and a keen sea-fisherman. His books, which have achieved exceptionally high sales on both sides of the Atlantic, include Jennie (1950), Flowers for Mrs Harris (1958), Mrs Harris Goes to New York (1960), Thomasina (1957), Love of Seven Dolls (1954) and Trial by Terror (1952) - all of which are available in Penguins. His Ludmila and The Lonely are being published by Penguins in one volume, at the same time as this book.
