  Walter de la Mare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Walter John de la Mare, OM CH (April 25, 1873 – June 22, 1956), was an English poet, short story writer, and novelist, probably best remembered for his works for children and "The Listeners".
One of de la Mare's special interests was the imagination, and this contributed to both the popularity of his children's writing and to much of his other work being taken in some cases less seriously than it deserved.
De la Mare claimed that all children fall into the category of having a childlike imagination at first, which is usually replaced at some point in their lives.
