About this title

About the Author

Giles Keating is the owner of Athelhampton House, having purchased the Tudor House in an ancient riverside setting amidst Dorset’s rolling hills, he became part of the team that welcomes visitors to its wonderful house and gardens. The inspiration for this book comes from his research on the extraordinary history of the house and its occupants. Giles worked for several decades as an economist at the University of London and in theCity, crunching numbers and visiting people around the world to feed into the weekly reports he wrote on things like the collapse of the Berlin Wall, the transformation of China from paddy fields to global superpower, crises in the Middle East and the rise of Silicon Valley. He still does a bit of this stuff. “All of those are Very Important Matters, but some readers might find them a bit dry. Anne of Athelhampton and the Riddle of the Apes is about things that are arguably more important, and it’s certainly far more fun.”
