| biography:
| Novelist, born in Liscard, Merseyside, NW England, UK. He left school to go to sea and, after an 18-month journey to the East, returned to England, where he studied at Cambridge. His reputation is based on Under the Volcano (1947), a novel set in Mexico, where he lived in 1936–7. He also wrote Ultramarine (1933), based on his first sea voyage, and several other novels published posthumously, such as Dark as the Grave Wherein My Friend Is Laid (1968). He spent most of his writing years in British Columbia, Canada, but died in England, where he lived from 1954. |
