Archibald Joseph Cronin was born in I896. In 1919 he graduated from Glasgow University where he took a medical course. After that he practiced medicine for over ten years and gained a lot of experience of life.

Though Cronin was an excellent doctor, he hoped some time to take up a literary career. The opportunity to write came when his medical practice was interrupted by an illness. His first novel, "Hatters Castle" came out in 1931. lt was followed by a number of other novels. "A Thing of Beamy" was published in 1955.
