Hide Profile

Frederick Lawrence Green was an Anglo-Irish novelist of Irish descent who lived in Belfast for the majority of his writing career. Born in Portsmouth, England on April 6, 1902, Green continued to live in England until 1933 when he and his wife, Margaret, moved to Belfast.

Green was the author of fourteen published novels: Julius Penton (1934), On the Night of the Fire (1939), The Sound of Winter (1940), Give Us the World (1941), Music in the Park (1942), A Song for the Angels (1943), On the Edge of the Sea (1944), Odd Man Out (1945), A Flask for the Journey (1946), A Fragment of Glass (1947), Mist on the Waters (1948), Clouds in the Wind (1950), The Magician (1951), and Ambush for the Hunter (1952). He is perhaps most famous for co-writing (with R. C. Sherriff and Carol Reed) the screenplay adaptation of Odd Man Out for the award-winning 1947 movie of the same name, directed by Carol Reed.

Green moved to Bristol, England in 1951. He died there two years later on April 14, 1953 at age 51.
