Vernon Knowles

Education

He attended the University of Western Australia but did not complete a degree.

Career

With some encouragement from Walter Murdoch, he turned to writing. He became an expatriate, living mostly in England. Knowles wrote a series of fantasy stories, The Street of Queer Houses and other Tales.

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.".
