Name
Andrew Bostock
Bio
Andrew Bostock was born in Kenya in 1972, but grew up in south London. An English degree at Oxford University did nothing to prepare him for the real world, and he pursued the typical ‘varied career’ of many writers. This included teaching English in Greece, tour guiding, managing bookshops, and trying to compete with John Simpson and the BBC in getting news out of Zimbabwe. In between all this he spent several years living in various places in the Peloponnese of Greece: his daughter was born in Kalamata and the first edition of his Bradt guide Greece: The Peloponnese with Athens, Delphi and Kythira was published in 2010. He subsequently retrained as a physics teacher, working in the UK, Egypt and China. He died in early 2021.
