John Le Carre Bibliography

More Information

John Le Carre, real name David John Moore Cornwell, was born in Dorset England in 1931and privately educated before going to Oxford University. After a brief stint teaching at Eton he went to work for the Foreign Office and later the Intelligence Services. The work and experience provided him with all the background and ideas he needed to become the most highly regarded author in the genre. His series character George Smiley appears in many of the novels and seems initially an unlikely 'hero'. The huge success of his novels means the later titles were printed in great numbers so are relatively easy to find though the first 3 books are regarded as rare with Call for the Dead being especially valuable If you are looking to buy or sell  books then our find a bookshop section may be of some assistance.
