The Golden Scarecrow

Více o knize

Walpole, an English novelist, initially aimed for a career in the church but found his true calling in writing, inspired by literary figures like Henry James and Arnold Bennett. Renowned for his vivid scene-setting and engaging plots, he gained popularity in the UK and North America during the 1920s and 1930s. Despite his prolific output, with at least one novel published annually since his debut in 1909, he has fallen into obscurity since his passing in 1941. His spontaneous storytelling style involved rapid writing with minimal revision.
