John Galsworthy first published in 1897 with a collection of short stories entitled ldquo;The Four Windsrdquo;. For the next 7 years he published these and all works under his pen name John Sinjohn. It was only upon the death of his father and the publication of ldquo;The Island Phariseesrdquo; in 1904 that he published as John Galsworthy. His first play; which we publish here; was The Silver Box; an immediate success when it debuted in 1906 and was followed by ldquo;The Man of Property" later that same year and was the first in the Forsyte trilogy. Whilst today he is far more well know as a Nobel Prize winning novelist then he was considered a playwright dealing with social issues and the class system. He was appointed to the Order of Merit in 1929; after earlier turning down a knighthood; and awarded the Nobel Prize in 1932 though he was too ill to attend. John Galsworthy died from a brain tumour at his London home; Grove Lodge; Hampstead on January 31st 1933. In accordance with his will he was cremated at Woking with his ashes then being scattered over the South Downs from an aeroplane.
