Vernon Knowles (1899–1968) was an Australian writer, born in Adelaide. [1]
He attended the University of Western Australia but did not complete a degree. With some encouragement from Walter Murdoch, he turned to writing. He became an expatriate, living mostly in England. [2]
Knowles wrote a series of fantasy stories, The Street of Queer Houses and other Tales. [3] Neil Barron has stated: "Knowles's work is in the tradition of Richard Garnett and has affinities with the work of Lord Dunsany and Donald Corley, but he affects a more naive and relaxed style than any of these. His best stories are amusing literary confections." [3]
He died in London in 1968.
