Born
in Metz, (Lorraine, France), in a family
of teachers and farmers, Sam H. Spiegel
went to Art School in Metz to
study fine arts. After a brief teaching
career, he left his native France for England,
where he
became an actor.
After having taken drama classes in
London and Paris, Sam appears in many
television series across the Channel, as
well as in international films.
Back in France - in Paris this time -
Sam embraces the theatre and is soon
touring France, performing in "Mary Stuart"
(as Lord Davison), a play written by Schiller. |
Nowadays, Sam lives in England again, in a
small town in Kent - the Garden of
England - between London and Dover ...
His novels (whether for children of for
grown-ups) take place in towns and
countries where the author has lived or
grown up, often in England where he
draws his inspiration. Most of his
characters have existed or still exist,
only their names have been changed. The
geography of the places is always
scrupulously respected.
Sam is also the author of novels for
children, where he leads his young
readers into the depths of mysteries and extraordinary adventures
around the world. |
