NAME THAT WRITER!!!!

Some writers' homes and their writing desks, I have visited over the years.
  Two of the writers were very close friends. One picture shows a place connected with a particular writer but it is really connected to two writers, brother and sister. There is a picture of a house connected to a family of writers. Three of the pictures were not taken in Britain. Two of the writers were not British.Another is of a house belonging to a soldier, artist, writer and politician; he was a master at all those occupations.
