Knighted in 1931, Angell was awarded the 1933 Nobel Peace Prize.
He also invented the Money Game, which were card games designed to teach its
players about currency and credit. He continued to write and lecture into the
1950s. Lightly toned, soiled and creased. Stained at blank right edge. Stray ink
marks above addressee. Torn open at top with tears along top edge. Address has
