Geoffrey 'Geppie' Piers Henry Dutton AO (2 August 1922 – 17 September 1998) was an Australian author and historian.

Biography

Dutton was born into a prominent pastoralist family of Anlaby Station near Kapunda, South Australia in 1922. His grandfather was Henry Dutton, the "Squire of Anlaby"; his parents were adventurer Henry Hampden Dutton and talented socialite Emily Dutton. For his relationship to these and other people prominent in the history of South Australia see Dutton family of South Australia.

Geoffrey grew up in four houses owned by his parents: Anlaby Station near Kapunda; Kalymna (or Kalimna) House, on the edge of the east parklands, Adelaide; Ooraminna, on the foreshore at Victor Harbor; and Rocky Point, a limestone house overlooking Eastern Cove, Kangaroo Island.[1] He was taught French as a young boy.[1]

At age eight, Geoffrey was sent to Wykeham Preparatory School near Belair, Adelaide. A year later, in 1931, his mother, Emily, sent him to Geelong Grammar School, Victoria.

He studied at the University of Adelaide, where he wrote for the student newspaper On Dit and avant-garde magazine Angry Penguins. He later studied at Magdalen College, Oxford. During his career, Dutton wrote or edited over 200 books, including poetry, fiction, biographies, art appreciation, art and literary history, travel books, novels for children and critical essays.

In 1965, together with Max Harris and Brian Stonier, he co-founded the Australian paperback publishing company Sun Books.[2] In June 1968, Dutton was appointed as an inaugural member of the Australian Council for the Arts.[3]

He was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia in 1976,[4] and died in 1998.
