Agnes Newton Keith was brought up in Hollywood, graduated from the University of California, and in 1934 went to Sandakan, then British North Borneo as the wife of Harry G. Keith, Conservator of Forests and Director of Agriculture of North Borneo.
Her husband persuaded her to write a hook on her Borneo experience and impressions and enter it in the 1939 Atlantic Monthly Non-Fiction Prize Contest. That hook, Land Below the Wind, won the contest by unan-imous vote of the judges. Three Came Home is its sequel, although it tells a story as different as peace is from war.
