Anthony Masters was een schrijver, opvoeder en humanist met uitzonderlijke gaven en een enorme energie. Zijn fictieve werken duiken diep in sociale problemen, gevoed door decennia van hulp aan sociaal uitgeslotenen. Naast zijn romans was zijn non-fictie werk eclectisch, met biografieën van opmerkelijke figuren en historische verslagen.
