Buch

The great farm hall was ablaze with the fire-light, and noisy with laughter and talk and many-sounding work.

The early evening had closed in, and the farm-servants, come from their outdoor work, had assembled in the ample hall, which gave space for a score or more of workers.

Über den Autor


Clemence Annie Housman (1861 - 1955) was an author, illustrator and activist in the women's suffrage movement. She was the sister of A. E. Housman and Laurence Housman. Her novels included The Were-Wolf, Unknown Sea and The Life of Sir Aglovale De Galis. She was also a leading figure in the Suffragette movement. Clemence published three novels and she illustrated some of the fantasies written by her brother Laurence. Her first novel, The Were-wolf (1896), was an allegorical erotic fantasy featuring a female werewolf. H. P. Lovecraft said of the Were-Wolf that it: attains a high degree of gruesome tension and achieves to some extent the atmosphere of authentic folklore. Basil Copper described The Were-wolf as a minor classic in the genre. The Life of Sir Aglovale de Galis is an Arthurian fantasy.
