Last year, while thumbing through books in my local thrift shop, I stumbled upon an intriguing book called “On the Art of Writing” by Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch. It’s a simple paperback published in 1946. (The book was first published in 1916.) 

The book is a series of lectures that Quiller-Couch presented to students at Cambridge University between 1913 and 1914, when he was the King Edward VII Professor of English Literature.
