Author Bio
Jeremy Brooks was born in Southampton in 1926. To support himself while writing he worked as a wine waiter at the Portmeirion Hotel and was later to write a novel, The Water Carnival(1957), satirising the Italianate village. Jampot Smith was published in 1960, Henry's War in 1962 and Smith as Hero in 1964. He later embarked on a theatrical career, which included a period as the literary manager of the Royal Shakespeare Company with Peter Hall from 1962 to 1969. He was responsible, with Kitty Hunter-Blair, for a number of ground-breaking adaptations of plays by Russian dramatists including Maxim Gorky and Nikolai Gogol. His last published work was a collection of short stories, entitled Doing the Voices(1986).
