Copyright interest to works by Christopher Morley belong to the Morley estate, which should be contacted for permission to quote and publish. Citation Historical Note Collector Elisabeth C. Post Morrow (July 27, 1896 - February 26, 1992) was a philanthropist and avid book collector. She married Thomas Irwin Morrow in 1920 and spent much of her life in Brookhaven, Long Island, New York. She was a strong supporter of the Brookhaven Free Library, a charter member of the Fireplace Literary Club and the Bellport-Brookhaven Historical Society. She also served as a trustee of the Packer Institute (from which she graduated) in Brooklyn. Her interests included music, books and printing, birds, and local natural areas. Christopher Morley (May 5, 1890 - March 28, 1957) was an American journalist, novelist, and poet. He was born in Haverford, Pennsylvania. Morley studied at Haverford College, where he obtained a BA in 1910. He was a Rhodes Scholar at New College, Oxford from 1910 to 1913. Morley got his start as a newspaper reporter and then columnist for various publications in Philadelphia and later New York City. He was one of the founders and a long-time staff member of the Saturday Review of Literature. Out of enthusiasm for the Sherlock Holmes stories, he became the founder of the Baker Street Irregulars and wrote the introduction to the standard omnibus edition of The Complete Sherlock Holmes. In 1936 he was appointed to revise and enlarge Bartlett's Familiar Quotations (1937, 1948). Author of more than 50 books of poetry and novels, Morley is best known as the author of Kitty Foyle (1939), which was made into an Academy Award-winning movie. Other well known works include Thunder on the Left (1925), and The Haunted Bookshop (1919) and Parnassus on Wheels (1917), his two semi-biographical novels of a fictional bookseller. In later years he lived in Nassau County, Long Island, commuting to the city on the Long Island Rail Road, about which he wrote affectionately. His studio, the Knothole, is preserved as a point of interest in Christopher Morley Park, Roslyn, New York. (Source: Gale's Contemporary Authors) Subjects Series 1: Correspondence, Elisabeth C.
