| biography:
| Writer, born in Londonderry, Co Londonderry, NW Northern Ireland, UK. He studied art in Edinburgh and Paris, then law at Oxford, and fought in West Africa in World War 1. Injuries and ill health dictated his early retirement to Oxford, where he took up writing. Out of his African experience came several novels, such as Mister Johnson (1939). His best-known work is his trilogy, Herself Surprised (1941), To be a Pilgrim (1942), and The Horse's Mouth (1944). |
