George Warwick Deeping ( May 28 , 1877 – April 20 , 1950 ) was a prolific English novelist and short story writer. His most famous novel is '' Sorrell And Son '' ( 1925 ). Born in Southend-on-Sea , Essex , into a family of doctors, he went to Trinity College, Cambridge to study medicine and science, and then to Middlesex Hospital to finish his medical training. During the First World War , he served in the Royal Army Medical Corps . Deeping later gave up his job as a doctor to become a full-time writer. His early work is dominated by Historical Romance s. His later novels can be seen as attempts at keeping alive the spirit of the Edwardian Age . He married Phyllis Maude Merrill and lived up to his death in Weybridge , Surrey . SELECT BIBLIOGRAPHY
FILMS Movies based on Deeping's novels belong, with two exceptions, to the Silent Era . ''Unrest'' was filmed in 1920 , ''Fox Farm'' in 1922 , and ''Doomsday'' in 1928 . ''Kitty'' ( 1929 ), directed by Victor Saville , was one of the first British Talkie s (arguably the very first; only the second half of the film had a Soundtrack ). ''Sorrell and Son'', based upon Deeping's experiences during the First World War, was filmed three times: It first appeared in 1927 as a Silent Movie , was Remade in 1934 as a Sound Film , and turned into a TV Mini-series in 1984 .
