Portrait

Arthur Hamilton Gibbs, an English-American novelist, hailed from a literary family, counting among his siblings Cosmo Hamilton and Sir Philip Gibbs. Born in London, he left a notable legacy, producing 16 novels and two poetry collections. His repertoire includes acclaimed works such as "The Persistent Lovers" (1915) and "Soundings" (1925), the latter achieving remarkable success as the top-selling book in the United States for that year. Another notable piece, "Chances" (1930), was adapted into a film in 1931, showcasing Gibbs' talent for storytelling across various mediums. In 1931, Gibbs became a naturalized US citizen, subsequently making his home primarily in Lakeville, Massachusetts. His literary pursuits continued to thrive in the United States, where he crafted compelling narratives that resonated with readers. Despite his transatlantic move, Gibbs maintained his dedication to the craft until his passing in Boston in 1964. Throughout his life, Gibbs found support and companionship in his wife, Jeanette (Philips), who shared his passion for writing and also pursued a career in law. Together, they contributed to the rich tapestry of literature, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire and captivate readers around the world.
