Jew Made in England is a Rake's Progress by one of the great eccentrics and, without doubt, one of the most innovative and idiosyncratic publishers of the twentieth century. Charismatic, daring and outrageous, Anthony Blond harvested talents as diverse as Harold Robbins and Jean Genet, Spike Milligan and Graham Greene. An inveterate promoter of the young, he gave over seventy writers their first chance. Although Blond's various publishing enterprises all came to assorted grief, he left behind a legacy of brilliance which few others will ever match. Along the way Blond encountered many of the great and not so good of our times, providing him with a treasure chest of wonderfully entertaining anecdotes about figures as illustrious as John Betjeman, as notorious as Robert Maxwell and as obscure as Sir Anthony de Hoghton, a wealthy profligate who ended up a beggar in Sloane Square, in sharp contrast to the fate of fellow Blond cronies Jimmy Goldsmith, John Aspinall and Alan Clark.
