	Kyril Bonfiglioli - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kyril Bonfiglioli (1929-1985) was an art dealer in Oxford, UK, who was for a short time also an editor.
		Bonfiglioli's style and novel structure have often been favorably compared to that of P.
		His second wife, Margaret Bonfiglioli has written and compiled an anthology of works and anecdotes, called the Mortdecai ABC.

		Bonfiglioli, who was fourteen, should have been in the shelter himself but was playing in the street; the incident apparently left him with the conviction that the good perish and the mischievous survive.
		The start of Bonfiglioli’s writing career coincided roughly with the end of his career as a dealer and the end of his marriage, though what caused what is hard to say.
		Margaret Bonfiglioli recalls her husband toward the end of their marriage shyly showing her the first few pages of “Don’t Point That Thing at Me.” By then, he’d become involved with Judith Todd, a former secretary of his, and after the divorce, in 1969, they moved into her house in the Lancashire village of Silverdale.

	Charlie Mortdecai (Kyril Bonfiglioli)
		After leaving school at 16, Bonfiglioli spent 5 years in the army before being admitted (as a widower with two small children) to Balliol College, Oxford, where he read English, after which he set up as an art dealer in Oxford and claimed to be "loved and respected by all who knew him slightly".
		As Bonfiglioli explained at the start of the first of these, "This is not an autobiographical novel: it is about some other portly, dissolute, immoral and middle-aged art dealer".
		There is further interesting biographical information about Bonfiglioli (widely known as Bon) in The Mortdecai ABC (1991) by his divorced second wife, Margaret Bonfiglioli (he officially married twice, but had various other partnerships, declaring himself "a dedicated marrier of beautiful women", and fathering five children).

	Kyril Bonfiglioli - The Mortdecai Trilogy (Penguin) Uppers Culture
		Bonfiglioli died before completing the fourth Mortdecai book: The Great Mortdecai Moustache Mystery - recently issued with a tacked-on ending.
		I haven't yet dared to try the Moustache Mystery, but I have often wished that Kyril Bonfiglioli hadn't been so careless as to pass away so early.
		The genius of Kyril Bonfiglioli is laid before just the kind of people who should appreciate most his deliciously sordid characters and magnificent, almost Shakespearian turn of phrase.

		Bonfiglioli is unashamedly a Wodehouse fan, even quotes the great "Plum".
		Kyril Bonfiglioli knows how to mix a perfect cocktail of a book like no other.
		Charlie Mortdecai, I would rank even over the immortal Flashman for candid, rakish charm, and for a easy offhand (and yet pointed) manner of wit that would not have embarrassed you know who.

	The Great Mortdecai Moustache Mystery, Kyril Bonfiglioli & Craig Brown, 0948238240, Brian Ritterspak
		The art of the fl comedy thriller is a particularly difficult one to bring off successfully: err too much on the side of the parodic, and the whole edifice collapses.
		But the reader has every right to expect bitter humour along with an outrageous narrative, and here Bonfiglioli (posthumously assisted by Britain's top satirist, Craig Brown) delivers satisfyingly.
		The Hon Charlie Mortdecai (hero of the wonderful Mortdecai trilogy) is back, answering a call from his old Oxford college who have asked him to track down the killer of a little-liked ""she-don"".
