| Evidence: | John Partridge on popularity of Charles Garvice's fiction: '[at Easter 1911] I looked round a large kiosk at a popular seaside place and observed that Mr Charles Garvice's love stories fairly dominated its shelves ... I have since read in the "Daily Chronicle" that Mr Garvice's novels have already found more than six million readers.' |
