By Sewell Stokes
Francis Martin Sewell Stokes (16 November 1902, London – 2 November 1979, London) was... an English novelist, biographer, playwright, screenwriter, broadcaster and prison visitor. He collaborated on a number of occasions with his brother, Leslie Stokes, an actor and later in life a BBC radio producer, with whom he shared a flat for many years overlooking the British Museum.
