Christopher Morley (1890-1957) nació en Haverford, Pensilvania, y estudió en Haverford College, donde su padre trabajaba como profesor de matemáticas. Posteriormente, se matricularía en la universidad inglesa de Oxford para estudiar historia moderna durante tres años (época que contaría en su novela autobiográfica de 1931 John Mistletoe, y, en parte, en Kathleen). En 1913, de vuelta en Estados Unidos, se instaló en Nueva York y comenzó a trabajar en la editorial Doubleday. Pocos años después se convertiría, recorriendo Estados Unidos como columnista y reportero, en uno de los periodistas más prestigiosos de su época. Su primera novela, La librería ambulante (Periférica, 2012), fue publicada en 1917; en 1919 apareció su continuación, La librería encantada (Periférica, 2013). En 1939 se hizo mundialmente conocido por su novela Kitty Foyle, trasladada al cine con Ginger Rogers como protagonista. Inteligente, lúcido y sofisticado, fue un escritor de éxito y al mismo tiempo un escritor de culto. Se ha dicho de él, comparándolo con Noel Coward, que su refinamiento era indudablemente británico. Sutil humorista, dijo de sí mismo que amaba tanto a Shakespeare como al Conan Doyle de las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes. Sin embargo, sus dos grandes maestros fueron compatriotas suyos: Walt Whitman y Mark Twain. El eco de su obra se encuentra en escritores de distintos países y generaciones: de Kingsley Amis a Tom Wolfe.
