1957007773Langwarrin Victoria Australia 1957. Very Good. A substantive letter from the popular English and Australian novelist Nevil Shute Norway 1899-1960 who dropped his true surname as his nom de plume was an aeronautics engineer before he began publishing novels. The letter demonstrates the meticulous research Shute applied to his writing and his striving to nail down the accuracy of details that would probably not even be noticed by most readers. Shute had just published the novel he was and remains best known for -- "On the Beach" -- and so he was at the height of his fame. The contemplated novel referred to in the letter became Shute's second to last published novel in his lifetime -- "The Rainbow and the Rose". The question posed in the letter relates to nitty gritty of a fighter plane motor for a plane used in the First World War. The letter is framed and matted with two windows to show each of the typed pages. The stationary is standard business stationary size. The frame is 36 by 52 cm oblong. The frame is a plain black. The robin egg blue matting provides an attractive contrast to the unadorned stationary. Each of the mounted sheets has a small corner chip probably a casualty of a staple removal. Curiously the two sheets are of different colors. unknown
