F. Marion (Francis Marion) Crawford Audiobooks

About the author

Born on August 2, 1854, in Bagni di Lucca, Italy, Francis Marion Crawford was an American novelist who built an international reputation in the late nineteenth century. He was the son of the sculptor Thomas Crawford and the nephew of writer Julia Ward Howe, and he spent much of his life in Europe, especially Italy, which became one of the great settings of his fiction.

Crawford was admired for lively storytelling, strong atmosphere, and memorable settings. Britannica notes him for the vividness of his characterizations and scenes, while reference works also remember him for the many novels he set in Italy. Alongside popular historical and romantic novels such as Saracinesca, he wrote strange and supernatural stories including For the Blood Is the Life, The Upper Berth, and the novel The Witch of Prague.

He died on April 9, 1909, in Sorrento, Italy. More than a century later, Crawford remains especially appealing to readers who enjoy fiction that blends travel, history, drama, and a touch of the uncanny.
