- Q7178729 abstract "Stuart Petre Brodie "SPB" Mais (1885–1975) was a prolific British author, journalist and broadcaster. The son of a Bristol rector, he was born in Birmingham but raised in Tansley, Derbyshire, where his family moved shortly afterwards.He was educated at Denstone College, Staffordshire. After graduating in English Literature at Christ Church, Oxford, and then teaching at Rossall, Sherborne and Tonbridge, Mais later worked for National Press at Fleet Street. A prolific author writing over 200 books, he also broadcast for numerous wireless programmes for the BBC between the 1920s and 1940s. He was married once: to Doris Snow; the couple had two daughters: Priscilla (1916-1982) and Vivien (born 1920). After that marriage was dissolved (they did not get divorced), he got together with Jill Doughty (who was considerably younger). S.P.B. (who preferred to be called Petre), was an ardent campaigner for the English countryside and traditions, leading walks for people who came for a day trip by train from big cities, often from London. He began to broadcast a "Letter from America" in 1933, a ground breaking venture at the time.Mais worked as a journalist for The Oxford Times newspaper, and also for the BBC as a radio broadcaster, most famously on the Kitchen Front radio show that aired after the morning news during World War Two. For an account of these broadcasts see "Calling Again - My Kitchen Front Talks with some results on the listener" by S.P.B. Mais, 1941. He presented Letter from America from 1933, 13 years before it was made famous by Alistair Cooke; he also presented a series on This Unknown Island.One grandson is Evening Standard writer Sebastian Shakespeare, who wrote of his grandfather:"My grandfather, SPB Mais, wrote more than 200 books and was a household name in his day. Prolific production alas was no guarantee of riches. He wrote to keep the bailiffs at bay. I'll never forget when my mother told me how she once had to hand over the contents of her piggy bank to his creditors."".
