HOLDEN, ANTHONY Olivier
Sphere Books Ltd. 1989. Trade Paperback. Good. Pages toned, ink gift inscription on title page, cover edge wear. "Anthony Holden (born 22 May 1947) is a British journalist, broadcaster and writer, particularly known as a biographer of the British Royal family and of artists including Shakespeare, Tchaikovsky, Lorenzo da Ponte and Laurence Olivier. He was born in Lancashire, and educated at Oundle School and the University of Oxford, where he edited the student paper Isis. He has written for a wide range of publications, and is currently music critic of The Observer. When he was a Whitbread Prize judge in 2000 he said it would have been a "national humiliation" if Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban had won, ahead of Seamus Heaney's translation of Beowulf. He had threatened to resign if that happened. Robert Harris derided this threat as "pompous." -- Wikipedia.
