Colwyn Edward Vulliamy (20 June 1886 – 4 September 1971) was an Anglo-Welsh biographer and author.
He was mostly credited as C. E. Vulliamy, but he sometimes used the pen name Anthony Rolls for his crime fiction.
[1] His James Boswell (1933) has been called “the cruellest and most damaging portrait of his subject that has ever been composed”.
[3] Apart from his more serious work as a biographer, historian and archaeologist, Vulliamy also wrote detective fiction.
[4] His novel Don Among the Dead Men (1952) was filmed as A Jolly Bad Fellow, a black comedy starring Leo McKern.
