Prolific English novelist (1904-1991). Born Henry Graham Greene in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire.

His novels are written in a contemporary realistic style, often featuring characters troubled by self-doubt and living in seedy or rootless circumstances. The doubts were often of a religious nature, perhaps echoing the author's Roman Catholic beliefs.
