Fenton Bresler was a barrister, newspaper columnist, television pundit and author of many books, including biographies of the Belgian novelist Georges Simenon and the judge Lord Goddard. Bresler was educated at the local grammar school, the Sorbonne in Paris and King's College, London, before being called to the bar in 1951.
