Autorenporträt
William Canton (1845-1926) was a British author, poet, and journalist who wrote extensively on a wide range of topics, including children's literature, travel, and natural history. Born in Chichester, England, Canton began his career as a journalist, working for various newspapers and magazines in London. He later turned to write books, and is best known for his children's books, which include "A Child's Book of Saints," "The Invisible Playmate," and "W.V., Her Book." Canton's writing was characterized by its imaginative and lyrical style, as well as its focus on nature and spirituality. He was deeply interested in the natural world, and his books often included descriptions of animals, plants, and landscapes. In addition to his writing, Canton was also a respected lecturer and broadcaster and gave talks on a variety of subjects, including literature, religion, and science. He was known for his engaging and entertaining style, and was popular with audiences of all ages. Canton remained active as a writer and public speaker throughout his life, and his work continued to be well-regarded even after his death in 1926. His books for children, in particular, are still widely read and cherished for their warmth, wisdom, and poetic language.
