• Antony Kamm (2 March 1931 – 11 February 2011) was an English publisher, author, historian and cricketer.[1]
• Antony Kamm was born in Hampstead, London, the son of George Kamm, a founder director of Pan Books and his wife Josephine, a biographer and novelist (who was a first cousin of Herbert Samuel). Kamm was of Jewish ancestry.[2]
• He was educated at Charterhouse where he captained the 1st XI before his National Service in the Navy.[1] He read Classics for two years before switching to English Literature at Worcester College, Oxford University.[1] He also played hockey and fives for the university. He was a right-handed batsman and wicket keeper who represented Middlesex in two first-class matches in 1952,[1] six for Oxford University (1952–1955; blue 1954) and once for Free Foresters in 1956.
• Kamm led a successful career in publishing. His first job was for the National Book League, a charity advocating the benefits of reading, working under Jack Morpurgo, the step-father of the children's writer Michael Morpurgo.[3] He became the editorial director of the Leicester-based publisher, Brockhampton Press, in 1960. In this role, he acquired the rights to the Asterix comic books, launching English editions of them which began in 1968, co-translated by his then wife, Anthea Bell, and Derek Hockridge. He became chairman of the Children's Book Group at the Publishers’ Association, and was a consultant to UNESCO.[3]
• During the 1970s, Kamm worked for the Commonwealth Secretariat in London and began to work for Oxford University Press in charge of its children's books division.[3] Kamm wrote several books, especially on Roman history and children's literature. His biography of Scottish engineer John Logie Baird, co-written with Malcolm Baird, was published in 2002.[3] In addition to his writing, he was also a lecturer in publishing at Stirling University (1988–1995).[1]
• He married Anthea Bell (1936–2018) in 1957; the couple had two sons, Richard and Oliver (the latter, a journalist at The Times), but subsequently divorced in 1973. His second marriage was to the biographer and children's author Eileen Dunlop (born 1938). Kamm died in Dollar, Clackmannanshire, Scotland.[1]
