The Common Cold
A doctor of medicine, now in his thirty-third year, RICHARD GORDONstarted practice in 1945 as an anesthetist and worked for a time as a ship’s doctor. Out of his experience he has written two humorous books which have had an enormous success in England and which have been published in this country by Harcourt, Brace: Doctor in the House and Doctor at Sea. J. Arthur Rank has made a motion picture of the first, and the second is in process of being filmed. Mr. Gordon lives in Oxford with his wife and ten-month-old son and is now devoting his full time to writing. His first novel, The Captain’s Table, recently made its debut in England.
