  Mary Webb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mary Webb ( March 25, 1881 - October 8, 1927), was an English romantic novelist of the early 20th century, whose novels are set chiefly in the Shropshire countryside which she knew and loved well.

 Precious bane by Mary Webb
Mary Webb lived from 1881 to 1927 and most of her years were spent in her beloved Shropshire, which was not just the setting of her novels but the source of her inspiration, being both substance and symbol in her work.
Mary Webb's imaginative world is, however, peculiarly both in and out of a particular time and place, self-contained, unified within itself: here, in her fictional Shropshire, all interrelates and interacts, and hardly seems related to an actual world beyond its boundaries.
In her novels, Mary Webb drew on her extensive knowledge of Shropshire folklore, legends and customs, selecting these in the interests of her main themes: numerous superstitions, beliefs and auguries are woven into this fable, heightening the local flavour and at the same time establishing and supporting the mood of impending disaster.
