Edgar Wallace
Edgar Wallace (April 1 1875 - 1932)
Wallace was a British crime writer, journalist and playwright.
Probably born in London, he was found abandoned at the age of nine days in Billingsgate by a fishmonger, who subsequently brought him up as his own son. His career started as a war correspondant for the Daily Mail in the Boer War, following which he turned his hand to writing crime thrillers at a prolific rate.
He died in Hollywood of pneumonia while working on King Kong and is buried in Little Marlow, England.
