Walter de la Mare, born April 25, 1873, in Charlton, Kent, England, was a British novelist, essayist, critic, playwright, poet, editor, as well as an author of short stories and children's books. One of his earliest works, published in 1902 while de la Mare was employed by an oil company, was a collection of children's verse, Songs of Childhood, written under the pseudonym Walter Ramal. Following the publication of his novel, Henry Brocken, in 1904 and several other early volumes, de la Mare devoted the remainder of his life almost exclusively to writing.
He wrote numerous short stories and poems, many of which reveal his interest in the macabre. Among the most notable collections of these works are The Veil and Other Poems (1921) and the posthumous Ghost Stories (1956). Memoirs of a Midget (1921), considered de la Mare's most popular novel, details the experiences of a character named Fanny Bowater. De la Mare also wrote several critical works, including Some Women Novelists of the 'Seventies (1929). Walter de la Mare died on June 22, 1956.
De la Mare's letters were written to British journalist and author John Middleton Murry, who was well known for his passionate and controversial criticism. Before 1910 he founded the avant-garde magazine Rhythm . He later worked as a journalist for the Westminster Gazette and Nation . With the encouragement of D. H. Lawrence, Murry published several books of criticism, including Fyodor Dostoevsky (1916) and The Problem of Style (1920).
Murry married writer Katherine Mansfield in 1913. A number of de la Mare's letters refer to Katherine Mansfield and her writing. Several letters include de la Mare's expressions of grief at her death in 1923.
Katherine Mansfield Beauchamp, born October 14, 1888, in Wellington, New Zealand, was best known for her short stories, especially those about New Zealand. Many of the New Zealand stories were collected in Bliss (1920) and The Garden Party (1922). Other works written by Mansfield included In a German Pension (1911), The Dove's Nest and Other Stories (1923), The Little Girl and Other Stories (1924), as well as numerous works edited by Murry and published posthumously.

Walter John de la Mare (1873-1956) was an English poet and novelist. Born at Charlton, Kent in England on April 25, 1873, he was educated at St. Paul's Cathedral Choir School. In 1890, at the age of sixteen, de la Mare left school, where he first began writing, and went to London to work in the office of the Anglo-American Oil Company. He continued in that employment for nineteen years, while writing in his spare time.
De la Mare's poems and short stories were first published in various British periodicals under the pseudonym "Walter Ramal." His first book of verse, Songs of Childhood, was published in 1902 and was followed by the prose romance Henry Brocken in 1904. After 1908, de la Mare received an annual grant from the privy purse and was able to give up office work and devote himself entirely to his writings.
De la Mare was made a companion of honour in 1948, and received the Order of Merit on 1953. He died at Twickenham, Middlesex, on June 22, 1956. Much of de la Mare's best poetry is contained within The Listeners (1912) and Peacock Pie (1913), while the novels The Return (1910) and Memoirs of a Midget (1921) are among the best of his prose work. Collected Poems appeared in 1920, 1935 and 1944; Collected Rhymes and Verse in 1944.
De la Mare's later poetry include The Burning Glass (1945), The Traveller (1946), Inward Companion (1950) and O Lovely England (1953).
