Walter |
Walter de la Mare worked in the statistics office of Anglo-American Oil until his short stories and poetry won him a pension from the British government. He was particularly interested in the imagination of children and loved writing for them. His Songs of Childhood, published in 1902, established de la Mare as a popular writer, and he continued to produce fiction, poetry, and anthologies for thirty years.
