Biography
cartoonist, painter and illustrator, novelist and journalist, was born in Caulfield, Victoria. While studying in Melbourne with Sam Atyeo (and possibly at the National Gallery of Victoria) he drew cartoons for several publications including the Bulletin and Smith’s Weekly . He also did illustrations for the Australian Weekend Book and other publications. Original cartoons in Mitchell Library include one of 1933 (Mitchell Library PXD 764). Then he turned to journalism and travelled the world for many years as a foreign and war correspondent, living and working in 46 countries, including Tibet, China, and Burma. After the war he settled in London as editor of the European bureau of Australian Associated Newspapers but resigned in 1954 in order 'to gamble on life as a free-lance novelist’. He lived on the island of Hydra in Greece with his Australian-born wife, Charmian Clift, and their three children. Best-known as an author of war books, travel books, novels, and thrillers, including My Brother Jack and a slightly autobiographical detective story Death Takes Small Bites . This entry is a stub.
