WARWICK DEEPING

Author of Old Pybus WARWICK DEEPING might be

called the Phoenix of English letters, that is to say, he is one who “rises on the stepping stones of his dead selves to better things." He was born at Southend, Essex, England, in 1877. He was educated at Merchant Taylor's School and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he took his A.B. degree in 1898, and his A.M. and M.B., in 1902. He studied then at Middlesex Hospital and began to practice medicine. But he had begun to write while still a medical student. Soon after receiving his degree, the success of his first book enabled him to give up the profession which his
