(1862-1925) UK essayist, poet and author, elder brother of E F Benson and Robert Hugh Benson. Much of his short fiction was fantasy, and can be found in The Hill of Trouble and Other Stories (coll 1903) and The Isles of Sunset (coll 1904) – the two books being assembled as Paul the Minstrel and Other Stories (omni 1911) – and in Basil Netherby (coll 1926). The Child of the Dawn (1912) is an Immortality tale, religiously sententious but occasionally moving. [JC]
