On the Art of Writing
- Author: Quiller-Couch Arthur Thomas Sir
- Genre: General
This slender volume is the book that began Helene Hanff's journey - a path that led eventually to her writing the 84, ‘Charing Crossroad’ series. This is a book about the master who taught Helene Hanff. This series of lectures, delivered in England more than nine decades ago, sparkles with a dry wit that is utterly endearing. No wonder his students loved him. This book is not that easy as it may seem at first sight. His challenge to his students, put forth in the first lecture, was to become a person of unmistakable intellectual breeding, whose trained judgment we can trust to choose the better and reject the worse.
