Background / Biography:

Who was Rodney Garland? There is little evidence on the internet, and it all points to one man: Adam de Hegedus, a Hungarian who was born in Budapest in 1906 and who moved to London in 1927. A journalist, he was the author of several books, and wrote several books under his own name and as Rodney Garland.

Two questions arise. If de Hegedus was Garland, why did the publishers of The Heart in Exile (Garland's first book) claim that it was written by a psychiatrist? Did de Hegedus deceive W H Allen (the publisher) or did W H Allen deceive the public? And why did W H Allen wait until 1966 to bring out Sorcerer's Broth, which is described as being by the author of The Heart in Exile, and is copyrighted in Garland's name?
