My father, Keith Anderson, who has died aged 93 from pneumonia, was a writer, editor, performer, educator and broadcaster, working in the UK, Turkey and Hong Kong.
Born in Wallasey, to Bessie Anderson (nee Day) and Victor Anderson, an accountant and educator, Keith was a keen violinist from an early age. He attended Mostyn House school in Parkgate, Cheshire, from where he won a scholarship to Lancing College in West Sussex. He graduated in classics from Wadham College, Oxford, under the tutelage of Maurice Bowra.
