Ethel Longstreet Author

Stephen Longstreet (1907-2002) was a prolific novelist, screenwriter, cartoonist and artist whose work ranged from gourmet cookbooks to potboiler detective novels to portraits of American jazz greats. He published over 100 books in his lifetime, including the novel The Sisters Liked Them Handsome which was turned into a successful Broadway musical. He also wrote screenplays that were made into films starring Hollywood greats from Ronald Reagan to Errol Flynn.

Ethel Longstreet (1909-1999) was the co-author of a number of these books and a frequent lecturer. The Longstreets were avid collectors of rare Japanese prints and drawings, a pursuit that drew them to research and write this book.
