About the author

Born in 1894, Charles Langbridge Morgan was an English novelist, playwright, and critic of English and Welsh parentage. Reliable publisher information describes him as a writer deeply concerned with romantic love, mysticism, and a search for the timeless and sublime, often through idealistic or artistic characters.

Morgan is especially remembered for novels such as The Fountain and Sparkenbroke, which helped build his reputation as a serious literary figure in the first half of the twentieth century. His work often balances psychological insight with a lyrical, philosophical tone, making him a distinctive voice for listeners who enjoy reflective fiction.

He died in 1958. Although not as widely read now as some of his contemporaries, his books still appeal to readers interested in elegant prose, inner conflict, and stories that reach beyond ordinary realism.
