Labeled a "popular" novelist, Ernest Raymond published fifty-nine books in fifty-two years. His first, Tell England: A Study in a Generation (1922), sold three hundred thousand copies by 1939, reached its fortieth edition by 1965, and was made into a motion picture. His second-most-celebrated novel, We, the Accused (1935), was, as he said in Please You, Draw Near: Autobiography 1922-1968 (1969), "a steady seller for thirty years"; received the 1935 Book Guild Medal; and was selected by readers of the Sunday Times as one of the Hundred Best Crime Stories. Three years before his death the eighty-three-year-old Raymond reentered the American fiction market after a thirty-year absence with A Georgian Love Story (1971); it was followed in each of the succeeding five years by a novel that had been previously published in England and in the early 1980s by several editions of We, the Accused, one of them a companion to the 1983 television version.
