More Information
Len Deighton was born in London on 18th February 1929, his
parents worked in service and his education was greatly impeded by the war. He
did his National Service in the RAF before going to Art College. He worked doing
illustration for papers etc until, whilst still freelancing, his first novel was
published the now legendary Ipcress File. The character Harry Palmer was
an immediate success with subsequent outings becoming international bestsellers.
The character was immortalised on screen by Michael Cain in a series of classic
films. The authors output continued, though sadly the Palmer character was
dropped, with aplomb and Deighton become one of the most successful spy/thriller
writers in the world.
