Among the authors who influenced Anthony Horowitz include English penman Charles Dickens. Horowitz niche is particularly juvenile literature, mystery-thriller books, and science fiction; and his literary work is often juxtaposed with that of British authors Enid Mary Blyton alongside Mark A. Cooper.

For his basic education, Anthony Horowitz attended the Harrow-based Orley Farm School and thereafter proceeded to the Warwickshire-based Rugby School. For his undergraduate studies, Horowitz attended the York-based Vanbrugh College, a constituent of University of York; at the said institution, Horowitz pursued English literature coupled with Art history, ultimately graduating in 1977.

While schooling, Anthony Horowitz grappled with weight problems, and a sad and brutal school life. This prompted Horowitz to start narrating stories to schoolmates and writing which was more or less a form of escapism. He opines that he only got happiness when he put pen to paper. As young as aged eight, he felt writing was his calling. Even then it was not until in his twenties when he started writing seriously, culminating in the publication of his debut book in 1978, titled Enter Frederick K Bower.

Anthony has been outsourced to write James Bond and Sherlock Holmes books. Horowitz, who has co-authored work with British scribblers Tony Lee and Nigeel Dobbyn, has a comprehensive bibliography encompassing standalone novels and novellas, a play, collections, stories, series of books, and graphic novels to his credit.

Anthony Horowitz has authored more than five series of books. Horowitz’s most notable series is the Alex Rider series. There are eleven major books in the said series. There are almost 110 editions of the first book in the serialized Alex Rider. However, the first edition was initially published in January 2000, titled Stormbreaker; and the book is shelved under the young adult, adventure, mystery, and fiction genres.

Alex Rider is the featured protagonist in Anthony Horowitz’s book Stormbreaker. Meet Alex Rider: aged fourteen, watchful and, intelligent. Rider was orphaned, prompting his uncle, named Ian Rider, to take care of him. The critical moment in Horowitz’s book, Stormbreaker, is the suspicious road accident that claimed Ian’s life because he had reportedly not buckled up. Alex Rider soon finds out that Ian was an MI6 undercover agent and was killed in the line of duty. Eventually, Alex is recruited and trained by the Special Air Services to work for the unit. The precocious child protagonist has to face up to an assignment seeking to neutralize a well-off sadistic criminal, Herod Sayle, to nip Sayle’s intention of annihilating all English children in the bud in this multi-award-winning literary gem.
