Francis Brett Young

Francis Brett Young (1884-1954) was a British novelist.

Young was born in Halesowen[?], Worcestershire, England, and trained in medicine. Only after working for a while as a doctor did he turn to writing. His first successful book was Portrait of Claire (1927), which won the Tait Black memorial prize. Most of his works have a very English feel to them.
