Faery Stories

by Charles L. Marson

Overview

"Mr. Charles L. Marson's "Faery Stories" are of an exceptionally high type. The Blinding of Yewli s a sea story in which imaginative poetry and humor and as happily blended as in some of the best old-time legends. The style is simple and pure, and beneath the unpretentious romance there runs a vain of deeoeriom meaning which those who perceive will enjoy. We venture to hope that Mr. Marson will write a great many more fairy tales and that this little volume will meet with the appreciation it deserves both here in America and in his native land of Australia."

About the Author

Charles L. Marson (16 May 1859 – 3 March 1914) was an influential figure in the second wave of

Christian socialism in England in the 1880s. Later between 1903 and 1906 he collaborated with his good friend Cecil Sharp in the collection and publication of "Folk Songs from Somerset" vols. 1-3, which contributed greatly to the first British folk revival. In April 1889 Marson became engaged to Clotilda (Chloe) Bayne, sister of his old university friend Ronald Bayne. She was one of the early students at Newnham College, Cambridge and a good friend of Philippa Fawcett. Seeking a fresh start in life, Marson then went out by ship to Adelaide, South Australia in June 1889 to be curate at St Peter's Glenelg and Chloe followed a year later to marry him.
