Description

Erle Stanley Gardner’s Nonfiction

A larger than life personality, Erle Stanley Gardner was much more than a writer of mystery novels. In fact, he was a Renaissance man: a fighter for the rights of the wrongfully convicted, a hunter, a fisherman and an explorer who opened up much of Baja California, sometimes by helicopter. Visitors to his ranch in Temecula, California had better be ready to ride a horse.

Erle Stanley Gardner’s Nonfiction:
An Annotated Checklist

Although his mysteries sold hundreds of millions of copies, the only major writing award Gardner ever won was an Edgar for his nonfiction book The Court of Last Resort.

Books into Film

My Cousin Rachel, a novel written by Daphne du Maurier and a film directed by Henry Koster from a screenplay written by Nunnally Johnson.

Collecting John Larison

Oregonian Larison hated reading until he discovered fly-fishing. After that he started reading fishing books, and reading segued into writing. He wrote three books about fishing, but his most recent novel, Whiskey When We’re Dry, is a Western.
