Tony Mayer

Article Abstract:

Diplomat Tony Mayer played a key role in enhancing relations between the UK and France in the 1950s and 1960s. He was a gifted host, and was a leading figure during an era in which the arts flourished at the French Embassy in London, England. He constantly sought opportunities to boost the French presence in British life, and would often invite French authors and drama companies to the UK. His book about the English, 'La Vie anglaise,' was extremely popular in France.
