One day a man put an ad in most of the newspapers in England. He said that he was a young man with pounds and great knowledge. He'd like to find a girl to be his wife and the girl must be like the one in the books written by Somerset Maugham. Thousands of parents and young girls knew about the ad . Parents all went to the bookshops to look for Somerset Maugham's books. They bought those books for their daughters as presents. Girls tried to get those books to read although they weren't reading. They wanted to know what kind of person the rich man wished for. Before long all the books of Maugham and the writer was known . Who was the rich man? It was Somerset Maugham who put the ad in the newspapers! The ad saved his books and it made him famous too!
