Novel without the letter 'e'

Gadsby, a novel written by Earnest Vincent Wright, in 1939 does not contain the letter 'e'!. This makes Gadsby a lipogram, (constrainedly written). What makes this even more of a feat is that the story contains over 50,000 words. The story tells how the main character, John Gadsby, transforms his home town of Branton Hills into a bustling city by tapping the vigour and original thought of youth. Wright never saw his work in print—he died at the age of 66 on the day it was published.
