Ronald Frederick Delderfield était un romancier et dramaturge anglais populaire dont les œuvres ont été largement adaptées pour la télévision et restent très lues. Ses romans et séries historiques suivent souvent de jeunes hommes de retour de la guerre, décrivant leurs vies en Angleterre et permettant à l'auteur de saisir l'ampleur de l'histoire anglaise. À travers ces récits, Delderfield plonge profondément dans l'histoire sociale, explorant la période de l'ère édouardienne jusqu'au début des années 1960, en se concentrant sur les changements sociétaux et les expériences individuelles durant cette période de transformation.
