He served in the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve in the last years of the Second World War and then worked for the British Council in a wide range of overseas postings, from which he later drew inspiration for his novels.Clive King was born in Richmond, London, in April 1924 and grew up in Ash, Kent. He was educated at The King's School, Rochester, Kent from 1933 to 1941 and then at Downing College, Cambridge, where he obtained a BA in English. From 1943 to 1946 He served as a Sub-Lieutenant in the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve, which took him to the Arctic, India, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), Australia, Malaya and Japan, where he saw the then recent devastation of Hiroshima.After leaving the Reserve King began working as an officer of the British Council and was posted to Amsterdam as an Administrative Officer (1948–50). Subsequent postings for the British Council included Belfast, as a Student Welfare Officer (1950–51); Aleppo, Syria, as a Lecturer (1951–54); Damascus, as a Visiting Professor at the University (1954–55); Beirut, as Lecturer and Director of Studies (1960–66); and Madras, as an Education Officer (1971–73).

He attended the London School of Oriental and African Studies from 1966 to 1967, then served as an Education Adviser for the East Pakistan Education Centre in Dhaka from 1967 to 1971.Clive King started writing as a child. He has stated that his first story was a script for a Western film, written in 1930. He had articles published in both his school and college magazines before his first book, Hamid of Aleppo, was published by Macmillan & Co. of New York in 1958. He wrote three more novels for children, The Town That Went South (1959), Stig of the Dump (1963) and The 22 Letters (1966), before deciding to become a full-time writer in 1973. King went on to write twelve further novels between 1973 and 1995, but he continues to be best known for Stig of the Dump, which has twice been adapted for television and continues to be taught in British schools.As a popular children's author King was invited to Children's Literature Summer Camps for members of the Puffin Book Club, run by Colony Holidays (predecessor to ATE Superweeks), along with other popular children's authors such as Ian Serraillier and Joan Aiken.King has been married twice, has three children and lives in Norfolk.".
