Walter John De la Mare

    25. duben 1873 – 22. červen 1956

    Walter de la Mare byl anglický básník a prozaik, jehož dílo se často zabývá podivuhodným světem dětské fantazie, ale také psychologickým hororem. Jeho přístup k psaní byl hluboce ovlivněn zájmem o představivost, což dodalo jeho textům jedinečnou, lehce nadpozemskou kvalitu. De la Mare mistrně proplétal realitu s fantazií a vytvářel znepokojivé, ale zároveň fascinující příběhy, které rezonují s čtenáři napříč generacemi.

The present edition offers the complete poems together with detailed editorial apparatus in what has become acknowledged as the standard edition by R. George Thomas. It also includes Thomas's remarkable prose War Diary of 1917
