Andrew Duncan's parents were both WW2 pilots, so maybe flying is in his DNA. He lived in London until his teens, then in the New Forest. At Cambridge he was editor of the university newspaper, Varsity. His first job was on the Albany column in The Sunday Telegraph, writing diary pieces on people in public life. Later he worked at Mitchell Beazley Publishers and the Hutchinson Publishing Group before setting up Duncan Petersen Publishing, the firm, which he runs today. He is married with two sons and lives in London and at Beaulieu, Hampshire. He relaxes by racing small boats on the Beaulieu River, and yachting in the Mediterranean.
