PaperBack: “The Daughters of Necessity”

Part of a series honoring the late author and blogger Bill Crider.



The Daughters of Necessity, by Peter S. Feibleman (Popular Library, 1960). In addition to penning the novel above, as well as The Columbus Tree (1973) and Charlie Boy (1982), the New York City-born Feibleman wrote screenplays for TV series such as Bob Hope Presents the Chrysler Theatre and Columbo, and stage plays including Tiger Tiger Burning Bright (1962) and Cakewalk (1998).

Credit for the cover art belongs to Ted CoConis. That same illustration fronted both this novel and this later one. CoConis created strikingly similar art for the 1970 paperback edition of The Lost Queen, by Norah Lofts.
