He was the son of the historian Arnold Toynbee and grandson of the classical scholar Gilbert Murray. He was educated at Rugby School and the University of Oxford. In 1938–39 he edited a newspaper, the Birmingham Town Crier. After service in World War II he worked in publishing and, from 1950, was on the editorial staff of the newspaper The Observer.
Of Toynbee’s experimental, subjective novels, the best known are The Savage Days (1937), The Barricades (1943), and Tea with Mrs. Goodman (1947). Later he wrote novels in verse, notably the “Pantaloon” series: Pantaloon or the Valediction (1961), Two Brothers (1964); A Learned City (1966), Views from a Lake, (1968). With his father, Arnold, he wrote Comparing Notes: A Dialogue Across a Generation (1963).
