With them it had been a case of love at first blindness since the day when they had tumbled into each other's arms in the same cradle. And Hands-pansy, when he first saw her, did not discover that Nillywill was a real princess hiding her birthright in the home of a poor peasant; nor did Nillywill, when she first saw Hands, see in him the baby-beginnings of the most honest and good heart that ever sprang out of poverty and humble parentage. So from her end of their little crib she kicked him with her royal rosy toes, and he from his kicked back and laughed: and thus, as you hear, at first blindness they fell head over ears in love with one another.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Laurence Housman was an English playwright, writer, and illustrator whose career developed across several decades, marked by versatility and a steady evolution of creative focus. Born on 18 July 1865 in Bromsgrove, United Kingdom, he began his professional life in the world of art after studying in London, where he dedicated his early years to illustration. This visual foundation shaped much of his later work, informing the clarity, atmosphere, and expressive detail that became characteristic of his writing. Over time, Housman shifted from illustration to literature and theatre, producing works that blended imagination with social awareness. His career included the creation of plays such as Victoria Regina, and he became known for blending creativity with commentary in ways that resonated with a wide audience. As the younger brother of poet A. E. Housman, he grew up in an environment that valued artistic expression, which further supported his development as a writer. Laurence Housman died on 20 February 1959 in Street, Somerset, leaving behind a diverse and enduring body of work that reflects a lifetime of artistic pursuit.
