Wholesome Life Lessons for All in ‘On the Art of Writing’ by Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch
Last year, while thumbing through books in my local thrift shop, I stumbled upon an intriguing book called “On the Art of Writing” by Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch. It’s a simple paperback published in 1946. (The book was first published in 1916.)
The book is a series of lectures that Quiller-Couch presented to students at Cambridge University between 1913 and 1914, when he was the King Edward VII Professor of English Literature.
It is one in a series of 20 Guild Books published in 1946 by The British Publishers Guild, as stated on the book’s back cover. The Guild comprised 26 of the UK’s leading publishers who, for the Guild Book series, chose outstanding books for the public to purchase at a low price.
