Vernon Knowles (1899-1968) was an Australian author, born in Adelaide. He attended the University of Western Australia but did not complete a degree. With some encouragement from Walter Murdoch, he turned to writing. He became an expatriate, living mostly in England.〔http://www.lib.monash.edu.au/exhibitions/recent-acquisitions4/virtual/photos/photo30.html〕 Knowles wrote a series of fantasy stories, ''The Street of Queer Houses and other Tales''.〔 Neil Barron, ''Fantasy and horror : a critical and historical guide to literature, illustration, film, TV, radio, and the Internet''.Lanham, Md. : Scarecrow Press, 1999. ISBN 0810835967〕 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."〔 ==Works== *''Songs and Preludes'' (1917) poetry *''Lamps and Vine Leaves'' (1919), poetry, with Charles Rischbieth Jury〔http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A140677b.htm〕 and Edward James Ranembe Morgan *''Bypaths'' (1921) *''The Street of Queer Houses: And Other Stories'' (1924) *''Poems'' (1925) *''Here and Otherwhere'' (1926) stories *''Beads of Coloured Days: a study in behaviour'' (1926) *''Silver Nutmegs'' (1927) stories *''The Ripening Years'' (1927) poetry *''The Ladder'' (1929) *''Pitiful Dust.
