Arthur Morrison

Arthur George Morrison (1 November 1863 – 4 December 1945) was an English writer and journalist known for realistic novels and stories about working-class life in London's East End, and for detective stories featuring the detective Martin Hewitt. He also collected Japanese art and published several works on the subject. Much of his collection entered the British Museum, through both purchase and bequest. Morrison's best known work of fiction is his novel A Child of the Jago (1896). [Wikipedia]
