Even today, when it has already had eight years' influence on American literature, the book still comes across as something unusual.
Sherwood Anderson's best known work is a collection of short stories about a fictional small town in the American Mid-West. Originally published on my blog here in March 1999. He once said he hoped to be remembered as E.B. Taylor, Timberlake Wertenbaker, Arthur Miller, Roald Dahl and E.B. His inspiration and integrity attracted to the company fine writers including C.P. His love of theatre and his caring for writers made him a generous and spirited mentor to many playwrights here and around the world.
During this time, he wrote adaptations of To Kill a Mockingbird, Cheaper By the Dozen, The Mouse That Roared, Up the Down Staircase, Fame, Black Elk Speaks and many more. But throughout his life, his greatest adventure and deepest love was his work with Dramatic Publishing. As captain of the schooner Chance, he spent two years in the South Pacific as a writer for Sports Afield magazine, he lived in the African bush for a year as a lieutenant commander during WWII, he taught celestial navigation as a playwright, his adaptation of Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio was seen on Broadway. Christopher Sergel's interests and talents led him on many adventures throughout the world.
