| Leslie Thomas, OBE (born March 22, 1931, in Newport, Monmouthshire, Wales) is a Welsh author. His novels about 1950's British National Service such as "The Virgin Soldiers" spawned two film versions, in 1969 and 1977, whilst his Tropic of Ruislip and Dangerous Davies, The Last Detective have been adapted for television (the former as Tropic in 1979 and latter having also spawned a film version, in 1981). Orphaned at the age of 12, Thomas was subsequently brought up in a Dr Barnardo's home; the story of this upbringing was the subject of his first, autobiographical, book, This Time Next Week. In the New Year Honours List published 31 December 2004, he was made an officer of the Order of the British Empire for services to Literature. | ||
