His book must have made millions

He died before the book was ever published. Two years after his death his Daughter sold the hand written manuscript (and all rights to it) to publisher Grant Richards for £50.
The book has since had countless editions and reprints around the world and has been published in numerous languages.

My dad gave me my first copy when I left school in 1969. I have had many copies since and given away numerous copies. I became obsessed, not just with the book, but also the life story of the author.
