A VERY FINE COPY OF THE LETTERS TO T. E. LAWRENCE COLLECTED AND EDITED BY HIS BROTHER. SOON WOULD COME THE MOVIE VERSION OF 'LAWRENCE OF ARABIA' STARRING PETER O'TOOLE. In A. W. Lawrence's own words "In recent years my brother has been inadequately portrayed or mis-portrayed in books and on the stage and if he is made the subject of a film the limitations of that medium will at the best entail an extreme simplification of the character. As a corrective I am publishing some letters to him selected from the very large number preserved in the belief that they will throw light upon their recipient no less than upon their writers. To me at any rate his personality is reflected distinctly by the collection as a whole." <br> Among the writers of the letters will be found; A. J. Balfour Gertrude Bell Edmund Blunden Wilfrid Scawen Blunt Robert Bridges H. G. Wells John Buchan Winston Churchill Noel Coward E. M. Forster George B. Shaw Augustus John and Ezra Pound. A fascinating look into the times and the people that made it so historically significant. Jonathan Cape hardcover
