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.
[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.
