The Lure of the Pen
by Flora Klickmann

ISBN/ASIN: 1154775186
Number of pages: 324
Description:
A book for would-be authors. No one can teach authors how or what to write; but sometimes it is possible to help the beginners to an understanding of what it is better not to write. For the rest I hope the book explains itself.
