Graham Greene was born in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire,

England on October 2, 1904. He attended Berkhamsted School where his father was head master. At Oxford's Balliol College there were good times and bad times for Greene.

He turned his life around in 1926 by

converting over to Catholicism to prepare for his marriage in 1927 to Vivien Dayrell Browning.
