Ernest George Henham

Ernest George Henham (1870–1948)[1][2] was a Canadian-British author who wrote novels at the beginning of the 20th century about Dartmoor and Devon, England.

It was probably no coincidence that the surname he chose was the original name for Tintagel, the legendary location of King Arthur's castle.

According to one American commentator, ...only Thomas Hardy and George Augustus Moore among contemporary novelists rival his art at its best.

The natural world of the moor is important to many of his works and Trevena's themes are often about opposing ideas, such as educated vs. uneducated people; clean rural vs. dirty city living; and secular vs. religious philosophies.

The state of ignorance may be a happy one; but when you die you leave a world which you have never really discovered, you depart from a life which you have never shared in, and you abandon for ever a wealth of beauty which has never been revealed to you.
