Autorenporträt
Ian Maxwell Campbell was born in London in 1870 and went on to play first class cricket for London Country, the MCC and Middlesex (where he claimed to have bowled out the illustrious WG Grace on two occasions). During the First World War he served on the Western Front with the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, reaching the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Following his retirement from the Army in 1929, Campbell became a wine shipper and was twice chair of the Wine and Spirit Association, where he spent much of his time fighting government tax increases. Wayward Tendrils is the first and most famous of his two wine-related memoirs. He died in Chesham, Bucks in 1954 at the age of 83. Neal Martin is a highly regarded wine critic and author, and Senior Editor of Vinous.
