Harold Bell Wright: Storyteller to America

by Lawrence V. Tagg

For much of the first half of this century, Harold Bell Wright was a household name in millions of American Homes. And his novels remain a living influence in the lives of some whose memories go back that far. His most notable admirer was President Ronald Reagan. Yet this once best-selling author is largely ignored or overlooked in the studies of American culture.

Regardless of what critics said about the man or his writings, Harold Bell Wright is a historical reality who needs to be included in any thorough review of Twentieth Century America. Weight is a personality worth remembering; a man whose messages have much within them that is timeless, and one who has earned his place in the ongoing drama of this nation. This is the story of Harold Bell Wright: the man and his work.
