| Novelist, born in Norwich, Norfolk, E England, UK. He began his working life as a banker. Galsworthy, with whom he became friends in 1904, encouraged him to write, but he did not achieve recognition until the publication of The Spanish Farm (1924, Hawthornden Prize, filmed as Roses of Picardy, 1927) and its sequels, Sixty-Four, Ninety-Four (1925) and The Crime at Vanderlynden's (1926). Many of his later novels are set in East Anglia. |
