автор: Anthony Meredith

Anthony Meredith was a Housemaster at Stowe School, where he taught Classics and was also Head of Theatre Studies. His first published books were on cricket — The Demon and the Lobster (Heinemann, 1987) and Summers in Winter (Methuen, 1990). He was a regular contributor to The Cricketer International and has written for many other magazines (most notably Country Life, BBC Music Magazine and Dancing Times). Like the revered Neville Cardus, Anthony has combined a love of music with cricket, writing (with Paul Harris as his co-researcher) biographies of three twentieth-century composers: Richard Rodney Bennett (Music Sales 2010), Malcolm Williamson (Music Sales, 2007) and Malcolm Arnold (Thames Publishing, 2004). In 2006 he created a score from the music of Malcolm Arnold for Northern Ballet’s production of The Three Musketeers. A member of the Stowe Parish Church Council, Anthony lives his wife Heather (and West Highland terrier Boycott) in a village just outside Buckingham. Their daughter, Jo, is a professional dancer-choreographer. Anthony’s most recent publication is Stowe Through Time (Amberley, 2011).
