Winston Graham: Painting Pictures with Words

British novelist Winston Graham (1908-2003), renowned for his timeless historical and suspense novels, possessed an unquenchable passion for writing from a young age.

A deep dive into Graham’s illustrious career reveals many of his literature works brought to life via television and films adaptations, including the globally acclaimed Poldark TV series and Alfred Hitchcock’s “Marnie”. In 1939, Graham married Jean Williamson – a union which lasted until her death in 1992. Winston Graham passed away in 2003 in London.
