Peters Fraser and Dunlop are delighted to announce that through its new Print on Demand initiative it is making available again the work of many authors whose books would otherwise be out of print. The Print on Demand programme is run by Lesley Davey, and has launched with a list of nine titles, including those by Angela Huth, Storm Jameson and V.S Pritchett.
Angela Huth
Angela Huth has written eleven novels, four collections of short stories as well as plays for radio, TV and the stage. Two of her earlier novels - Virginia Fly is Drowning and Sun Child - she adapted for the BBC and Landgirls was made into the 1998 feature film The Land Girls.
Angela Huth says:
‘Print on demand! This is a brilliant idea by PFD, to end the frustration of readers who search for out of print books, and for writers, whose past works can come to life again at the press of a button’.
PFD has made available Angela Huth’s Sun Child and Monday Lunch in Fairyland and Other Stories.
Storm Jameson
Storm Jameson was an essayist, journalist, literary critic and political activist. After university Jameson moved to London, taught at the Working Women's College and dedicated much time to helping refugee writers. In 1939 Jameson became the first female president of PEN.
Christopher Storm-Clark, executor of the Jameson estate said:
‘I think your idea is absolutely brilliant’.
PFD has made available Storm Jameson’s Journey from the North Volumes 1& 2 and The Hidden River.
V.S Pritchett
V. S. Pritchett was knighted in 1975 for his services to literature and was awarded The Companion of Honor in 1993. His awards include The Heinemann Award (1969), PEN Award (1974), W. H. Smith Award (1990), and Golden Pen Award (1993).
PFD has made available V.S Pritchett’s Marching Spain.
This is the beginning of an initiative that will see many out of print titles become available, with the final aim of encouraging mainstream publishers to republish these works while making them available to the general public in the meantime.
