E.F. Benson

E. F. Benson was born at Wellington College in Berkshire, the fifth child of the headmaster, Edward White Benson.

He continued his education at King's College, Cambridge. At Cambridge, he was a member of the Pitt Club, and later in life he became an honorary fellow of Magdalene College. E. F. Benson was an excellent athlete, and represented England at figure skating. He was a precocious and prolific writer, publishing his first book while still a student.

He is buried in the cemetery at Rye, East Sussex.
