James Hilton is an Academy Award-winning British novelist.
While still studying at Christ's College, Cambridge, Hilton published articles in newspapers and wrote his first novel "Catherine herself" (1920). After becoming a journalist, he did not abandon fiction. His novella "Goodbye, Mr. Chips" was published in 1934 and gained immense popularity.
James Hilton's successful bestselling novels Lost Horizon (1933), Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1934), and The Accidental Harvest (1941) were made into equally successful motion pictures. In all, he wrote 14 novels. In the late 1930s, Hilton moved to Hollywood, where he wrote or contributed to screenplays (among them the screenplay for Ian Struther's Mrs. Miniver).
