Michael Wharton
Michael Wharton (19 April 1913 – 23 January 2006) was a newspaper columnist who wrote under the pseudonym Peter Simple in the British ''Daily Telegraph''. He began work on the "Way of the World" column with illustrator Michael ffolkes three times a week in early 1957. In 1990 he began a weekly ''Peter Simple'' column in the ''Sunday Telegraph'', before returning to the ''Daily Telegraph'' as a weekly columnist in 1996. He remained there until his death, aged 92, in 2006, his last column appearing on 20 January 2006.
==Life and career==
Wharton was born as Michael Bernhard Nathan, the son of a businessman of German-Jewish origin, at Shipley, in the West Riding of Yorkshire ("Wharton" was the maiden name of his mother).〔("In memory of my father, Michael Wharton", Daily Telegraph, 2 Oct 2009, by Jane Wharton )〕〔(Daily Telegraph 24 Jan 2006 )〕 Wharton was educated at Bradford Grammar School and Lincoln College, Oxford. His career at Oxford was undistinguished, partly because he spent his time writing ''Sheldrake'', a novel that had little success when published in 1958. After Oxford, Wharton served in the Royal Artillery from 1940 to 1946, rising to the rank of Major (acting Lieutenant-Colonel), "but", in his own words, "only in Intelligence".〔http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2006/04/the-last-edwardian/304734/2/〕 He then worked for the BBC as a producer and scriptwriter, but left in 1956.
His two volumes of quasi-autobiography, ''The Missing Will'' and ''A Dubious Codicil'', combined his fantasy world with the mundane reality of the life as a jobbing journalist. Wharton married three times. His daughter and literary executor, Jane Wharton, works as a psychotherapist.〔("In memory of my father, Michael Wharton" ) ''The Daily Telegraph'', 2 October 2009, by Jane Wharton〕
