Charles Tolkien-Gillett (2019)

Auction House Specialist / Composer

After leaving Merton, I moved to NY where I worked for a small rare book dealer before joining Christie’s Books & Manuscripts Dept. Outside of that, I am a composer, lyricist and playwright, and briefly worked for a producer on Broadway. I am happy to advise mentees on the book trade and auction houses, as well as more generally on libraries, archives, academia and the creative industries.
