Can anyone read this writing please?

[OhMoreDrama]

It's in a book my dad has and we're trying to figure out if it's an author signature.

Thank you!

I can’t read that at all

Lylan Charles

As soon as I looked at this I saw an E at the start of the surname but it appears nobody else can.

Sylvia?

Raymond Chandler

Leighton (Lilian? ) Charlton

I'm going with Phylis Garlier, whoever she may be

I did! My first name begins with E and I write it in a similarly curly way, which can go a bit skew whiff when I'm in a hurry.

I thought this!

Wow I thought my handwriting was shit.

Well Martin Gilbert's signature would appear to look like this

so I very much doubt it's his.

That would be a find!
