เกี่ยวกับผู้แต่ง

Eden Phillpotts (1862–1960) was an English author, poet, and dramatist born in Mount Abu, India. Moving to England when he was a child, Phillpotts developed an intimate connection with the English countryside, particularly Devon, which would become a central stage for his prolific literary work. Known for his versatility and deep understanding of human nature, Phillpotts authored well over 250 books during his lifetime. His works ranged from novels and plays to poetry and mystery stories, often intertwined with elements of nature and the complexities of rural life ('The Human Boy', 'Children of the Mist'). 'Lying Prophets' is one of his emblematic novels, showcasing his narrative skill and insightful portrayal of character and setting. Phillpotts possessed a unique literary style that combined realism with a touch of romance, creating rich, textured works that advocated for societal reform and explored moral dilemmas. He was contemporary to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and was praised by renowned authors like J.B. Priestley for his contributions to English literature. Despite being a prolific writer with a career that spanned almost seven decades, Phillpotts' name has become less known in the modern era, though his work remains relevant for its exploration of human themes and the natural world.
