Anne Collins
Anne Collins was born in Harrogate, in the north-east of England, on 25 June 1952. Anne’s father worked in the financial department of the Air Ministry, the government organisation responsible for the administration of the Royal Air Force. He was based in Egypt, Cyprus and Aden and his family moved with him. Anne’s love of travel and foreign cultures came from these early experiences of life abroad.
After Anne’s family returned to England, she attended a girls’ school in Guildford, and then went on to London University, where she studied English Literature. Her first job after graduating in 1973, was at a ‘frontistirio’, a private Greek language school, on the island of Kos. In those days, very few foreigners went to Greece. Anne lived with a very kind Greek family and they helped one another learn their native language.
