Llewelyn Powys

Llewelyn Powys (1884-1939) was a British writer, a younger brother of John Cowper Powys and T F Powys.

He was born in Dorchester, son of a Welsh clergyman, and was educated at Sherborne School[?] and Corpus Christi College, Cambridge[?]. While lecturing in the USA, he contracted tuberculosis. After his return in 1909, he travelled again, living for a while in Switzerland and also in Kenya. His time in Africa proved inspirational, as did many of his life experiences. Other writings included a novel, Apples Be Ripe (1930), and a biography of Henry Hudson (1927).
