Cronin, A(rchibald) J(oseph)

    0.04 sec.

Cronin, A(rchibald) J(oseph) (1896-1981)

Scottish novelist. The success of his novel Hatter's Castle (1931) enabled him to leave his practice as a physician and take up writing full time. His medical stories gave rise in the 1960s to the popular television series Dr Finlay's Casebook for which Cronin contributed a number of scripts.

Born in Cardross, Dumbartonshire, Cronin studied at Glasgow University. He practised medicine in Wales and London before embarking on his literary career.

Other novels include The Citadel (1937), The Keys of the Kingdom (1941), The Spanish Gardener (1950), Crusader's Tomb (1956), and The Judas Tree (1961). Jupiter Laughs (1940) is a play.
