About this audiobook
John Galsworthy (1867 – 1933) was an English playwright and novelist who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1932.
"Spindleberries" is a haunting short story, describing the increasingly eccentric Alicia, a nature-loving artist, via four memories which are conjured up in her cousin's brain as he contemplates four spindleberries which she has dropped on the path.
John Galsworthy
John Galsworthy was a Nobel-Prize (1932) winning English dramatist, novelist, and poet born to an upper-middle class family in Surrey, England. He attended Harrow and trained as a barrister at New College, Oxford. Although called to the bar in 1890, rather than practise law, Galsworthy travelled extensively and began to write. It was as a playwright Galsworthy had his first success. His plays—like his most famous work, the series of novels comprising The Forsyte Saga—dealt primarily with class and the social issues of the day, and he was especially harsh on the class from which he himself came.
