Autorenporträt

George Robert Sims was an English writer, poet, playwright, novelist, and general good time who was born on September 2, 1847, and died on September 4, 1922. At first, Sims wrote funny and satirical articles for Fun magazine and The Referee. But soon, he turned his attention to social change, especially the plight of the poor in London's slums. He wrote a lot of articles and books, including a number of stories. Sims was also a very famous playwright. He wrote many plays, often with other people, and many of them ran for a long time and were popular all over the world. He was also a big fan of sports and had a lot of literary and artistic friends. He also bred bulldogs. Sims made a lot of money through his work, but by the time he died, he had lost most of it on gambling. Sims was born in London, England, in Kennington. His parents were George Sims, a successful businessman, and Louisa Amelia Ann Stevenson, who was the head of the Women's Provident League. As the oldest of six children, Sims was introduced to his parents' progressive and artistically worldly friends, some of whom were suffragists. He grew up in London's Islington, and his mom took him to the theater a lot.
