An Inspector Calls Education Resource pack Page 1 The Writer JB Priestley was born in Bradford in 1894 and served throughout the First World War before going to Cambridge to study History, Political Science and English. He began writing and selling his work while still a student. He settled in London in 1922 and began a long career as novelist, playwright, essayist and critic. He wrote three novels in the twenties before he had his first major success with his warm-hearted show business story The Good Companions (1929), which has been adapted for the stage (a version was produced at Theatre by the Lake in 2002), television, radio and the cinema. Twenty-eight novels followed, including Angel Pavement (1930), Let the People Sing (1938), Bright Day (1946), Festival at Farbridge (1951) and The Image Men (1968). His first play was his own adaptation of The Good Companions in 1930 and it was followed by 41 others, including Dangerous Corner, Time and the Conways, When We Are Married, Johnson Over Jordan, An Inspector Calls and The Linden Tree, all written within a prolific 20-year period.
