Serpell was born in Leeds, England, in 1910.[1] His father was senior master of Leeds Grammar School.[1] Serpell began his career as a reporter for the Yorkshire Post.[1] In the 1930s he began working for The Times in London.[1] With a fellow journalist, Douglas Brown,[2] he wrote the novel If Hitler Comes (first published in 1940 as Loss of Eden), which imagines a Britain that has ostensibly made peace with Germany but has in effect surrendered.[3] During World War II, he served in naval intelligence under Ian Fleming.[1] He subsequently joined the BBC as its Rome correspondent, then Washington correspondent from 1953, and finally diplomatic correspondent, until retirement in 1975. He appeared as a "castaway" on the BBC Radio 4 programme Desert Island Discs on 31 March 1973.[4] He died in 1991 at his home in Barnes, South London.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite web|url= https://www.faber.co.uk/author/christopher-serpell/ |title=Christopher Serpell|publisher=Faber and Faber|access-date=2014-08-14 | df=dmy-all}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Serpell, Christopher}}2. ^{{cite web|title=Brown, Douglas|url=http://www.sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/brown_douglas|website=The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction|accessdate=9 December 2016}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=If Hitler Comes|url=https://www.faber.co.uk/9780571254095-if-hitler-comes.html|website=Faber & Faber|accessdate=9 December 2016}} 4. ^{{cite web | url = http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p009n941 | title = Desert Island Discs - Castaway: Christopher Serpell | publisher = BBC Online | work = iPlayer Radio | access-date=2014-08-14 | df = dmy-all}} 5 : 1910 births|1991 deaths|People from Leeds|People from London|BBC people |
