Humphrey Carpenter
Humphrey Carpenter (1946-2005), the author and creator of Mr Majeika, was born and educated in Oxford. He attended the Dragon School, where, he recalled, exciting things often happened and there were some very odd teachers – you could even call it magical! He worked for the BBC before becoming a full-time writer in 1975.
Carpenter was the author of many award-winning biographies, including books about J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, Benjamin Britten, and Spike Milligan. His children’s books, besides the Mr Majeika titles, included Shakespeare Without the Boring Bits and More Shakespeare Without the Boring Bits. He also wrote plays for radio and theatre and founded the children’s drama group The Mushy Pea Theatre Company.
He was a multi-instrumentalist, playing the tuba, double bass, bass saxophone, and keyboard.
Humphrey once said, “The nice thing about being a writer is that you can make magic happen without learning tricks. Words are the only tricks you need. I can write: ‘He floated up to the ceiling, and a baby rabbit came out of his pocket, grew wings and flew away.’ And you will believe that it really happened! That’s magic, isn’t it?”
