Born the son of an antiquarian bookseller in London, he was first introduced to cryptography when his father showed him a copy of Edgar Allan Poe's story, The Gold Bug. From this early interest, he demonstrated his skill at codebreaking at an early age by deciphering his father's secret price codes.
