Good+ Hon. Eleanor Theodora Roby Benson (1906-1968) and Hon. Betty Ellen Askwith (1909-1995) collaborated with Nicolas Bentley (1907-1998; then, three years shy of illustrating T. S. Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats) on a clutch of commercially successful 'In a nutshell' titles of fashionably flippant humour. Both women had writing careers, Benson as a travel writer and novelist (under 'T.B.') and Askwith as a biographer. Lady Ellen Askwith (née Peel; 1909-1962) was the mother of Betty Askwith, and, like her daughter, an author, having turned her hand to journalism following the death of her first husband; she published two novels as Mrs Henry Graham. Lady Askwith was appointed C.B.E. in 1918, for her work during WWI with the YMCA and national kitchens (ODNB for George Ranken Asquith). …

With Bentley's distinctive stylized signature 'Nicolas Bentley'. After thanking him for his letter he writes (apparently with reference to a newspaper article): 'I am sorry if in using the phrase "I am afraid" I ruffled your grammatical sensibilities. I used it because I meant it. I am always afraid of hurting people's feelings, and I know that sometimes the return of a manuscript must give pain to an author.' He agrees that the phrase is used to often, as a substitute for 'I am sorry'.…

Very Good + Shell employed several artists and published a lot of different kinds of advertising before WWII. There are good websites about it online. I have not been able to find these caricature style ads anywhere See also my listing with the scrapbook of the Pandemonium Group, co-founded by Bentley. Nicolas Clerihew Bentley (14 June 1907 - 14 August 1978) was a British writer and illustrator, best known for his humorous cartoon drawings in books and magazines in the 1930s and 1940s. Bentley sold his first drawing to his godfather, G. K. Chesterton. He had a commission to draw illustrations for a trade newspaper called Man and his clothes in 1928, and his first regular job as an illustrator was in the publicity department of SHELL. Bentley worked for SHELL for three years, but disliked working in advertising. In 1930, Hilaire Beloc (who was a friend of his father) invited him to illustrate his book New Cautionary Tales. The good critical reception of this book and its illustrations allowed him to go freelance. Bentley also wrote novels and continued to illustrate books. In 1951 he was one of the founders of the book publishers Andre Deutsch Ltd - the three arrows of its logo representing himself, Deutsch and the third director, Diana Athill. However, as one employee recalled, Bentley 'stayed out of the office altogether apart from attendance at Friday editorial meetings.'. Nicolas C. Bentley (illustratore).…
