BiographyHistory

Canadian-born Grant Allen 'left Ontario permanently when he was thirteen, and was educated at Dieppe, Birmingham and Oxford. Apart from a spell of teaching in Jamaica, he spent the rest of his rather short life as a freelance writer in England. He became a prodigy of productivity over a twenty-year career, producing over thirty books and millions of words of journalism on a vast variety of subjects, especially Darwinism and natural history.'
