Anthony Collett (August 22, 1877-1929) was an author and writer on natural history subjects and was The Times' nature correspondent during the 1910s and 1920s.
He was born at Cromhall , Gloucestershire, educated at Bradfield School and Oriel College, Oxford.
In 1917, he was described as "of 5 Stone Buildings, Lincoln's Inn, London, W.C.", which strongly suggests that he was a lawyer, or at any rate involved in the legal profession in some capacity.
W. H. Auden used many phrases from Collett's Changing Face of England in his poems.
