More Information
Victor Canning, born 11.1.1911 to 1986, his first book was
published while he was still working as a poorly paid clerk. It was an immediate
success, especially so in America, it earned him some £30,000, a huge sum at the
time. As well as being popular with readers he is also very much collected. The
early first editions in original dust jackets are rare books and consequently
quite valuable. Later titles are easier to find but by now means common if fine
collectable condition. Of the later works his Arthurian series of novels are
worthy of special mention, a full set in fine condition is now quite sought
after. He was a quite and reclusive man so consequently signed copies are quite
rare and do fetch a healthy premium. There are several alternative titles for
American publications and these have been duly noted in the
bibliography-checklist.
