A classic novel by Robert Hichens, author of The Green Carnation
Robert Smythe Hichens (1864–1950) was an English journalist and novelist. Born in Kent, he was educated at Clifton College, the Royal College of Music, and the London School of Journalism. He wrote lyrics for music, stories, and collaborated in successful plays. He is best remembered now, perhaps, for his satire on Oscar Wilde, The Green Carnation (1894). His novels "The Garden of Allah" (pub. 1904) and "The Paradine Case" (pub. 1933) were made into films and his story "How Love Came to Professor Guildea" has frequently been anthologized
