Now you've got me worrying about this...James Hilton is one of my all time favourite authors.

I do have "A James Hilton Companion - A Guide to the Novels, Short Stories, Nonfiction Writings and Films" by John R Hammond. McFarland 2010.

He lists "Lives of Men" as 'a short story in the Evening Standard Second Book of Strange Stories (London, Hutchinson, 1937). A thought provoking and vivid narrative of a pearl diver's experiences, with a "twist in the tail" as it's conclusion.'

The book itself looks self published (with a credit for the front cover image from Shutterstock) but I couldn't be sure.

ISBN 978-0-7864-3844-0

"John R Hammond is a former research fellow at Nottingham Trent University in England. He is the secretary of the James Hilton Society and the president of the H.G. Wells Society."
