Only after his death was it discovered that his claim that he was born in St. Davids, West Wales, was false.〔〔(Llewellyn , Richard , 1906-1983 )〕〔What appears to be his birth certificate gives his name as Richard Herbert V Lloyd, see http://www.freebmd.org.uk〕 In the U.S., Llewellyn won the National Book Award for favourite novel of 1940, voted by members of the American Booksellers Association.〔 "Books and Authors", ''The New York Times'', 16 February 1941, page BR12.

During World War II, he rose to the rank of Captain in the Welsh Guards. Following the war, he worked as a journalist, covering the Nuremberg Trials, and then as a screenwriter for MGM. Late in his life, he lived in Eilat, Israel.
