"George Ernest Bartlett Adamson (1884-1951) was born on 22 December 1884 at Cascade, Ringarooma, in Tasmania, Australia. His Father was Scottish, his Mother English. His first job, after moving to New Zealand in 1914 was as a clerk with the Wellington publishers Whitcombe & Tombs Ltd. He married in 1917, he and his wife Mary were to have three sons. Always interested in literature, particularly the English Romantics, he published a volume of verse, Twelve Sonnets (1918). He was encouraged by its favourable reception in Australia and sailed with his wife for Sydney."--All Poetry website (accessed 13/5/2016)
