Beverly
Herbert
was
the
window
into
Frank
Herbert
’
s
soul
.
He
shared
that
reality
with
millions
of
readers
when
he
wrote
a
loving
,
three
-
page
tribute
to
her
at
the
end
of
Chapterhouse
:
Dune
,
describing
their
life
together
.
His
writing
companion
and
intellectual
equal
,
she
suggested
the
title
for
that
book
,
and
she
died
in
1984
while
he
was
writing
it
.
Earlier
in
Dune
,
Frank
Herbert
had
modeled
Lady
Jessica
Atreides
after
Beverly
Herbert
,
with
her
dignified
,
gentle
ways
of
influence
,
and
even
her
prescient
abilities
,
which
my
mother
actually
possessed
.
He
also
wrote
of
“
Lady
Jessica
’
s
latent
(
prophetic
)
abilities
,
”
and
in
this
he
was
describing
my
mother
,
thinking
of
all
the
amazing
paranormal
feats
she
had
accomplished
in
her
lifetime
.
In
an
endearing
tone
,
he
often
referred
to
her
as
his
“
white
witch
,
”
or
good
witch
.
Similarly
,
throughout
the
Dune
series
,
he
described
the
heroic
Ben
Gesserit
women
as
“
witches
.
”
Dune
is
the
most
admired
science
fiction
novel
ever
written
and
has
sold
tens
of
millions
of
copies
all
over
the
world
,
in
more
than
twenty
languages
.
It
is
to
science
fiction
what
the
Lord
of
the
Rings
trilogy
is
to
fantasy
,
the
most
highly
regarded
,
respected
works
in
their
respective
genres
.
Of
course
,
Dune
is
not
just
science
fiction
.
It
includes
strong
elements
of
fantasy
and
contains
so
many
important
layers
beneath
the
story
line
that
it
has
become
a
mainstream
classic
.
As
one
dimension
of
this
,
just
look
at
the
cover
on
the
book
in
your
hands
,
the
quiet
dignity
expressed
in
the
artwork
.
The
novel
was
first
published
in
hardcover
in
1965
by
Chilton
Books
,
best
known
for
their
immense
auto
-
repair
novels
.
No
other
publisher
would
touch
the
book
,
in
part
because
of
the
length
of
the
manuscript
.
They
felt
it
was
far
too
long
at
215
,
000
words
,
when
most
novels
of
the
day
were
only
a
quarter
to
a
third
that
length
.
Dune
would
require
immense
printing
costs
and
a
high
hardcover
price
for
the
time
,
in
excess
of
five
dollars
.
No
science
fiction
novel
had
ever
commanded
a
retail
price
that
high
.
Publishers
also
expressed
concern
about
the
complexity
of
the
novel
and
all
of
the
new
,
exotic
words
that
the
author
introduced
in
the
beginning
,
which
tended
to
slow
the
story
down
.
One
editor
said
that
he
could
not
get
through
the
first
hundred
pages
without
becoming
confused
and
irritated
.
Another
said
that
he
might
be
making
a
huge
mistake
in
turning
the
book
down
,
but
he
did
so
anyway
.
Initial
sales
of
the
book
were
slow
,
but
Frank
Herbert
’
s
science
fiction
—
writing
peers
and
readers
recognized
the
genius
of
the
work
from
the
beginning
,
awarding
it
the
coveted
Nebula
and
Hugo
awards
for
best
novel
of
the
year
.
It
was
featured
in
The
Whole
Earth
Catalog
and
began
to
receive
excellent
reviews
,
including
one
from
the
New
York
Times
.
A
groundswell
of
support
was
building
.
In
1969
,
Frank
Herbert
published
the
first
sequel
,
Dune
Messiah
,
in
which
he
warned
about
the
dangers
of
following
a
charismatic
leader
and
showed
the
dark
side
of
Paul
Atreides
.
Many
fans
didn
’
t
understand
this
message
,
because
they
didn
’
t
want
to
see
their
superhero
brought
down
from
his
pedestal
.
Still
,
the
