1874-1965. English writer. His work includes
the novels Of Human Bondage 1915, The Moon
and Sixpence 1919, and Cakes and Ale 1930;
the short-story collections The Trembling of
a Leaf 1921 and Ashenden 1928; and the plays
Lady Frederick 1907 and Our Betters 1923.
Born in Paris, he studied medicine at St
Thomas's, London. During World War I he was a
secret agent in Russia; his Ashenden spy
stories are based on this experience.
