EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enigmatic and intellectual presence of Walter John de la Mare (1873-1956), a renowned English poet and author, best known for his supernatural and ghost stories. De la Mare's literary career spanned over six decades, leaving an indelible mark on the literary world with his distinctive voice and imaginative storytelling. Born on August 6, 1873, in London, England, de la Mare showed an early aptitude for poetry and literature. He published his first collection of poems, "The Listeners," in 1901, which gained critical acclaim and established him as a promising new voice in poetry. Throughout his career, he continued to write and publish poetry, as well as ghost stories, short stories, and novels. One of de la Mare's most notable works is the collection of ghost stories, "Memoirs of a Midget," published in 1927. These stories, with their eerie and unsettling atmospheres, showcased his ability to create a sense of otherworldliness and suspense. De la Mare's ghost stories have been praised for their psychological depth and their exploration of the human condition. The photograph, taken in the late 1940s or early 1950s, captures de la Mare in the later years of his life. His piercing gaze and furrowed brow suggest a deep introspection and a rich inner life, while the folds of his suit and the wrinkles on his face add to the sense of wisdom and experience. The photograph is a testament to the enduring power of de la Mare's imagination and his ability to captivate readers with his words. Walter John de la Mare passed away on February 28, 1956, leaving behind a legacy of works that continue to inspire and delight readers. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of his contributions to literature and his enduring influence on the genre of ghost stories.
