Christopher Logue (1926-2011) was educated at Prior Park College, Bath, and at Portsmouth Grammar School. He served as a Private in the Black Watch and spent sixteen months in an army prison. His publications include several volumes of poetry and a pornographic novel. The first collection of his reinterpretation of Homer's Iliad, War Music, was shortlisted for the 2002 Griffin Poetry Prize; Cold Calls, the fifth instalment of the War Music series, won the Whitbread Poetry Prize in 2005. The first complete single-volume edition of War Music, including previously unpublished material, was published in 2015.

'They don't get much better than this...Logue is a great storyteller.' Gerald Dawe; 'It's assumed nowadays that autobiography will uncover hidden areas of a life, be sexually candid and reveal its author to be vulnerable and self-doubting at heart. Prince Charming meets these requirements but achieves much more...It rescues from the wreckage of various phases and crazes (where is Jazz poetry now?) a man indisputably and agonisingly committed to his art.'
