Dead
man’s words sell
It
seems to be a good career move to die if you wish to be paid lots for
your writing.
Letters written by George Orwell who died in 1950was sold last week at
auction, in London, for £84,000.
The letters cover the early 1930s when Orwell stayed with his parents
in Suffolk, after he returned from Burma.
The letters are to his friends and discuss the writing of his first two
books.
They were auctioned by Bonhams Auctioneers.
Orwell wrote Animal Farm, (1945), and Nineteen Eighty-Four,
(1949), amongst other works still in print today.
