Walter John de la Mare (1873–1956) was an English poet, short story writer and novelist, probably best remembered for his works for children and the poem "The Listeners." He was born in Kent, descended from a family of French Huguenots, and was educated at St Paul's Cathedral School. "The Return" (first published in 1910) describes how Arthur Lawford, falling asleep by the grave of a Huguenot adventurer who has died by his own hand, wakes to find himself physically changed into that man.
