Happy Birthday, Erle


Born today in Malden, Massachusetts, in 1889, the creator of America's most famous fictional lawyer. Erle Stanley Gardner qualified as a lawyer himself without attending law school, only working in a law firm. After passing the bar, he made his living defending poor immigrants in California, and writing an enormous number of stories. He finally settled into the Perry Mason novels, and wrote more than 80.

Happy Late Birthday to Erle!
AM currently working on a squidoo lens on Perry Mason and am busy cataloging the books and linking them to copies available to buy. Certainly have cut my work out here creating over 160 links! Then I'm doing links to the films and TV episodes. Might skip the 240+ radio episodes! If you want to check out the work in progress you can see it here. Hopefully it will be complete by his next birthday!
