Aet. 46, to the chief editor for publisher T. Fisher Unwin. He founded his own imprint in 1904 and was George Moore’s publisher from 1916 until 1921. Mr. Tom Brown, a member of Laurie’s staff for several years, described him for me as “most meticulous in everything he did and a martinet,” but also a gentleman of extraordinary consideration and generosity. Miss Christina Foyle likewise related details of Laurie’s fun loving disposition, comparing him to publisher Grant Richards.
