About the Author

Aldous Leonard Huxley (1894-1963) was an English writer and essayist, best known for his distopian novel BRAVE NEW WORLD. Born into the prominent Huxley family in Surrey in 1894, Huxley wrote his first (unpublished) novel at 17 and published CROME YELLOW in 1921. He taught briefly at Eton, where George Orwell was one of his pupils. Huxley wrote BRAVE NEW WORLD in 1932 and moved to the United States in 1937, where he lived until his death. He died on the same day as C.S. Lewis and John F. Kennedy.
