Biography

Geoffrey Household's educational background included attending Clifton and Magdalen College, Oxford, where he later honed his writing skills.

After completing his education, Household embarked on a four-year stint as a merchant banker in Romania, which eventually led to his decision to leave the country and pursue a new career.

Household's next venture took him to Spain, where he attempted to sell bananas, and subsequently, he arrived in the United States just as the Great Depression was unfolding.

In the US, Household began writing children's plays for radio, which eventually led him to return to the United Kingdom.

However, Household's travels did not come to an end, as he soon found himself selling printer's inks in Europe and South America.

Throughout his journeys, Household was encouraged by the prestigious publication "Atlantic Monthly" to pursue a career in writing.

Household's writing career officially began in 1937 with the publication of his first novel, "The Third Hour," followed by a collection of short stories.

One of his most successful novels, "Rogue Male," was released in 1937, but Household was unable to capitalize on its success due to his subsequent posting as an intelligence officer in Romania.

Household was later transferred to the Middle East, where he remained until 1945.

Following his time in the Middle East, Household faced the daunting task of restarting his writing career almost from scratch.

Despite these challenges, Household persevered and continued to produce notable works, leaving a lasting legacy in the world of literature.
