About the author

Horace Walpole

1717–1797

Best known for writing The Castle of Otranto, he helped launch the Gothic novel and gave later horror and fantasy writers a lasting model. He was also a lively letter writer, collector, and the creator of Strawberry Hill House, one of the landmarks of early Gothic Revival taste.
