L.P. Hartley

3.8/5 ( ratings)

Born: December 29 1895

Died: 1212 12 19721972

Leslie Poles Hartley was born in Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire, and educated at Harrow and Balliol College, Oxford. For more than thirty years from 1923 he was an indefatigable fiction reviewer for periodicals including the Spectator and Saturday Review. His first book, Night Fears was a collection of short stories; but it was not until the publication of Eustace and Hilda , which won the James Tait Black prize, that Hartley gained widespread recognition as an author. His other novels include The Go-Between , which was adapted into an internationally-successful film starring Julie Christie and Alan Bates, and The Hireling , the film version of which won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
