Charles King

According to the wikipedia entry, General King was the great-grandson of a signer of the Constitution, Rufus King, and the son of Civil War General [likewise named] Rufus King. Charles King was born on October 12, 1844 in Albany, NY. He attended West Point during the Civil War years graduating in 1866. He was seriously wounded in the subsequent Indian Wars which forced his retirement from active duty. He then relocated to Wisconsin and served in that state's National Guard for many years and there he began his writing career. During the Spanish-American War, King led a group of volunteers to the Phillipines and later helped to train soldiers for the First World War. A close friend of William "Buffalo Bill" Cody, King wrote several silent movie scripts for the famous western showman. For many years, King and his wife lived at the Carlton Hotel in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and he would eventually write or edit over 60 books and novels. He was buried in Milwaukee's Forest Home Cemetary following his death on March 17, 1933.

Kingsley Amis

KingsleyAmis, the author of *Lucky Jim*, was born in the south of London in 1922. His first interest in literature was in the field of poetry. At the age of eleven he was writing verse, at the university he was one of the editors of *Oxford Poetry 1949*, and his own poetry has been published in two books: *A Frame of Mind* and *A Case of Samples*. His name is often to be seen in British newspapers and magazines as the writer of articles and reviews. Lucky Jim, published in 1954, was Amis's first novel. It was something so different, so fresh and so brilliantly clever that the critics welcomed it with excitement. Kingsley Amis is a university lecturer in English. In Lucky Jim he takes us into a world he knows well; it is set in a university college ' somewhere in England', but you need not have seen a British university to enjoy this book.
