Born at the start of World War II, Anthony John was raised in the rural surroundings of wartime England. he was educated at public boarding school, and Grenoble and Oxford Universities. For some years he was a charter yacht skipper in the West Indies. Back in the England of the mid-1970s he worked in a probation hostel and took an interest in the rural comunes movement.
He was latterly self-employed in building and property renovation. In the early 1990s he retired to a derelict smallholding with a roofless house in the West of Ireland. Here, the restoration of house and land, participation in the partly self-sufficient local community and literary pursuits continue to occupy him.
