Stuart Bennett is an author and antiquarian bookseller in Charleston, South Carolina. He grew up in Southern California and is married to the artist Jennie Summerall.
He became a Christie’s auctioneer in London in 1976 and started his ongoing rare book business in 1980. After leaving England in 1989, he briefly practiced law in California and watched his son grow up to become a competitive cyclist and coach.
In addition to his four novels, Stuart has published widely on historical subjects on both sides of the Atlantic. In 2008 he became president of the Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association of America and subsequently served on the governing committee of the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers.
