George Warwick Deeping (28 May 1877 – 20 April 1950) was a prolific English novelist and short story writer, whose best-known novel was ''Sorrell and Son'' (1925). ==Life== Born in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, into a family of doctors, he was educated at Merchant Taylors' School. He proceeded to Trinity College, Cambridge, to study medicine and science (receiving his MA in March 1902), then went to Middlesex Hospital to finish his medical training. During the First World War, he served in the Royal Army Medical Corps. Deeping later gave up his job as a doctor to become a full-time writer.〔Ruth Franklin. (Readers of the Pack: American Best-Selling ) ''Bookforum''. Summer 2011.〕 He married Phyllis Maude Merrill and lived for the rest of his life in Eastlands on Brooklands Road in Weybridge, Surrey. He was one of the best selling authors of the 1920s and 1930s, with seven of his novels making the best-seller list. Deeping was a prolific writer of short stories, which appeared in such British magazines as ''Cassell's'', ''The Story-Teller'', and ''The Strand''. He also published fiction in several US magazines, including the ''Saturday Evening Post'' and ''Adventure''.〔Jones, Robert Kenneth. ''The Lure of "Adventure"''. Wildside Press, 2007, (p.27)〕 All of the short stories and serialized novels in U.S. magazines were reprints works previously published in Britain. Well over 200 of his original short stories and essays that appeared in various British fiction magazines were never seen in book form. Those works are now available in the multi-volume "Lost Stories" collection. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Warwick Deeping」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
