The letterhead is slightly unevenly cut with remnants of tape on he verso where it has been removed from an album. Very good. Warwick Deeping [1877-1950] was an English novelist and short-story writer whose best-known novel was "Sorrell and Son" [1925]. After serving in the Royal Army Medical Corps during World War I, Deeping gave up his job as a doctor to become a full-time writer. His early work was dominated by historical romances. His later novels more often dealt with modern life and were critical of many tendencies of twentieth century civilization. His attitude was generally one of passionate individualism, distrustful of both ruling elites and the lower classes who were often presented as a threat to his embattled middle-class protagonists. He was one of the best-selling authors of the 1920s and 1930s.

On one side of a 7.5 x 12.5 cm leaf of pink paper, extracted from an album. In good condition, very lightly aged. Centred on the page, in blue ink, the inscription reads: 'love from | Enid Blyton'. No other writing anywhere on the leaf. As 600 million copies of Blyton's books have been sold worldwide, and as she oversaw the design of her books, and insisted on her distinctive signature being placed on every cover, it is not an exaggeration to state that this is one of the most famous signatures of the twentieth century.
