==Early life==
Anthony's family emigrated to the United States from Britain when he was six. He graduated from Goddard College in Vermont in 1956.〔Anthony, Piers. Bio of an Ogre, Ace Books, 1988. p. 87〕 On ''This American Life'' on July 27, 2012, Anthony revealed that his parents had divorced, he was bullied, and he had poor grades in school. Anthony referred to his high school as "a very fancy private school", and refuses to donate money to the school, because as a student, he recalls being part of "the lower crust", and that no one paid attention to or cared about him. He said, "I didn't like being a member of the under class, of the peons like that". He became a naturalized U.S. citizen while serving in the United States Army in 1958. After completing a two-year stint in military service, he briefly taught school at Admiral Farragut Academy in St. Petersburg, Florida before becoming a full-time writer.〔Anthony, Piers. Bio of an Ogre, Ace Books, 1988. p. 284〕
