SIR ALAN PATRICK HERBERT
The British author signs a 3x1½ card in blue ink.
Autograph Sentiment signed: "(Rather Late, but still!)/A.P.
Herbert" in blue ink, 3x1½ card. Alan Patrick "A. P." Herbert
(1890-1971) wrote 8 novels, 15 plays, many humorous essays, and several
collections of Misleading Cases (funny, untrue, and carefully written
"law reports"), later a BBC-TV series (1967-1969). Herbert served in the
House of Commons as an Independent, representing Oxford University from 1935 to
1950, when the university seats were abolished. Herbert made skillful use
of humor to promote legislative reform. For example, he wrote Holy
Deadlock (1934), to promote marriage reform, contributing to 1937
legislation allowing divorce without proof of adultery. Other targets of his
legislative and journalistic ire included liquor licensing, obscenity and
gambling laws, and the entertainment tax. Herbert was knighted in 1945.
Slightly worn. Otherwise, fine condition.
