## Bio

James Hilton was born on 9 September 1900 in England and built a career turning quiet emotional pivots into bestsellers. Lost Horizon introduced Shangri-La into the language; Goodbye, Mr. Chips became the archetype for every beloved teacher story; Random Harvest gave readers another dose of bittersweet longing. He crossed to Hollywood and co-wrote screenplays, including Camille in 1936 and Mrs. Miniver in 1942 — the latter won him an Academy Award. He died on 20 December 1954, having planted a few indelible phrases and one imaginary utopia into the culture.
