A Welsh man of letters with a taste for history, bibliography, and the strange edge of fantasy, he wrote across an unusually wide range of subjects. His work moves from the Renaissance and old Welsh families to imaginative fiction with an eerie, dreamlike touch.

About the author
Born in Penmorfa, Cardiganshire, on July 27, 1870, Herbert Millingchamp Vaughan was a Welsh author, historian, and bibliographer. He was educated at Clifton College and Keble College, Oxford, and his independent means allowed him to devote much of his life to writing and historical study.
Vaughan wrote both scholarly and imaginative books. Sources describe him as especially interested in history and literature, and his work included studies connected with the Italian Renaissance, Welsh family history, and Jacobite themes. He also wrote fantasy, including Meleager: A Fantasy and The Dial of Ahaz, which gives his catalog an appealing mix of research and imagination.
He was associated for many years with the National Library of Wales and is remembered as a versatile literary figure rather than a specialist in only one field. He died in Tenby, Pembrokeshire, on July 31, 1948.
