Anthony Price Bibliography

More Information

Anthony Price was born on 16th August 1928 on Hertfordshire, England. He was educated in Canterbury before going to Merton College Oxford on a scholarship. He went into journalism on leaving Oxford and went on to become editor of the Oxford Times. He was reviewing crime fiction books when approached by Gollancz and asked if he would consider writing a history of detective stories. Price declined but countered with an offer to write a novel. The Labyrinth Makers introduced his two series characters David Audley and Colonel Jack Butler, the results were a great success being critically acclaimed and also winning the CWA Silver Dagger. Despite his commitments as an editor he continued to write both consistently  and prolifically.  He retired from writing in 1990 and his books are collected, the later titles are not rare books but the first three are relatively difficult to locate in collectable condition.
