Synopsis "The Wolves of God, and Other Fey Stories"

As the little steamer entered the bay of Kettletoft in the Orkneys the beach at Sanday appeared so low that the houses almost seemed to be standing in the water; and to the big, dark man leaning over the rail of the upper deck the sight of them came with a pang of mingled pain and pleasure. The scene, to his eyes, had not changed. The houses, the low shore, the flat treeless country beyond, the vast open sky, all looked exactly the same as when he left the island thirty years ago to work for the Hudson Bay Company in distant N. W. Canada. A lad of eighteen then, he was now a man of forty-eight, old for his years, and this was the home-coming he had so often dreamed about in the lonely wilderness of trees where he had spent his life. Yet his grim face wore an anxious rather than a tender expression. The return was perhaps not quite as he had pictured it.

(United Kingdom, 1869 - 1951). Writer of fantastic tales, journalist, and radio broadcaster. He narrated his own writings on radio and television and wrote an autobiography of his early years. His work, The Willows, is considered one of the best horror stories in history. He was a major influence on H.P. Lovecraft, who described him as "the unquestionable and absolute master of spectral atmosphere".
