Literary agent John Wolfers went up to Worcester College, Oxford, England, at the age of 17, but left after a year to join up in 1940. He joined Rupert Hart-Davis in a new publishing house venture in 1948, and subsequently worked with John Murray and George Rainbird before joining International Literary Management. His social and professional life flourished between the late 1960s and the death of Charlotte, his second wife, in 1980. After her death he moved to France, where he became very popular with local people.
