John Masefield was a novelist, journalist and poet. He won the Edmond de Polignac prize in 1912, and was appointed Poet Laureate in 1930 - a role he performed for the next 37 years. Masefield wrote 21 novels, including two children's books featuring Kay Harker, The Midnight Folk (1927) and The Box of Delights (1935). He died in 1967, and his ashes were interred in Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey.
