MANFRED LEE. TLS: "Manfred B. Lee" of the Ellery Queen
collaboration, ¾p, 7¼x10½. Roxbury, Connecticut, 1968 May 1. On his
imprinted "Ellery Queen" letterhead to Mrs. Lianne Carlin, The Mystery Lover's
Newsletter, Revere, Mass. In full: "I should most appreciate your
rushing me a copy of (I believe) your current Mystery Lover's Newsletter. I
refer to the one with the article in it entitled 'The Queen Canon; a Fragmentary
Reaction.' As long as you're about it, you may as well put me down as a regular
subscriber, and of course bill me in the usual course." In the year of
this letter, two Ellery Queen books were published: The House of
Brass, a sequel to the 1956 book, Inspector Queen's Own Case,
featuring Ellery Queen's father, Inspector Richard Queen, and Q.E.D. -
Queen's Experiments in Detection, a selection of Ellery Queen short stories.
Manfred B. Lee (1905-1972) and his cousin, Fred Dannay (1905-1982),
created Ellery Queen, an author who solved mysteries and then wrote about
them. The Roman Hat Mystery, their first successful novel (1929), was
followed by over 100 other novels characterized by complexity of plot.
"Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine", founded in 1941, is still published. Lightly
creased with folds, vertical fold at the "n" of Manfred. Fine
condition.
