Your Peter Cheney covers - especially the Pan and Fontana ones - take me back to my young manhood: most interesting!
ReplyDeleteI came across your prolific site when researching Alastair Revie, who wrote the "autobiography" of Colonel Wintle, The Last Englishman, on whom I am writing a thesis. You wrote on 18/11/09 that you though that Revie could be “possibly Alastair Shaw Revie (1919-1988), a Scot who later lived in Shropshire.” I would be most grateful if you could e-mail me on agrandall@btinternet.com to tell me what leads you to suppose that.
Best wishes, Tony
Hi Tony,
ReplyDeleteThere's only one registered death for anyone called Alastair Revie in England & Wales. I don't have access to Scottish birth/death records, but there was an Alastair S. Revie, journalist, in Scottish phone books 1949-56, address Villa Marina, Shore Road, Kilcreggan.
It isn't too much of a leap to link Alastair S. Revie, journalist, to Alastair Shaw Revie, although I've no firm proof. You would probably need to get his death certificate for that... if it gives his occupation as retired journalist you should be onto a winner.
If you go to the Official Peter Cheyney Website you will find galleries of almost every British cover and hundreds of foreign ones: petercheyney.co.uk
ReplyDeleteIf there's still any interest in Alastair Shaw Revie, I have a photograph of his gravestone. There's very little information on it, but it does say, "Writer." It's on the Shropshire/Staffordshire borders, so it's probably the same person.
