Arthur Applin

Arthur Applin was a playwright, novelist, and biographer who was also a classically trained actor. This background gave him particular strengths in developing memorable characters and devising engrossing, action-driven plots, both of which are on full display in the charming novel Blackthorn Farm. Young student Rupert Dale has fallen head-over-heels in love with up-and-coming actress Ruby Strode, but the pair's perilous financial situation seems destined to thwart their dreams of married bliss—especially when Rupert is accused of a despicable crime and the world around him believes him to be guilty. Will the duo find a way to make their love work through it all?
