Sinclair, Upton

Wally For Queen! The Private Life of Royalty

Pasadena, California Self Published 1936, Printed Wrapper Very Good 16 p. Wps. Very good, scarce item. "I wrote this little sketch quite innocently thinking to provide a little fun for magazine readers. The first editor wired:'Swell, but unpublishable'. My literary agent wired: 'Desolated but compelled to agree skit unprintable, very charming'. I sent it to a big printing firm, which has made my books for twenty years. They refused to print it! It appears that a Baltimore girl is fighting the British Empire. Many plain Americans are saying, 'atta girl'. Myself, I take no sides, but I do not consider the royal family altogether divine, & I do not see why American editors have to be paralyzed with awe. Laugh & the world laughs with you."
