About the Author

London-born Aldous Leonard Huxley (1894-1963) was a poet, novelist, dramatist, essayist, and humanist philosopher. He attended Eton and Oxford and briefly taught at Eton before devoting himself solely to writing. Crome Yellow‘s critical success earned him advances for future novels, and his fifth novel was Brave New World (1932), which is one of the most read books in literary history.
