Theodore Francis Powys (1875 – 1953) – published as T. F. Powys – was a British novelist and short-story writer. He has been described by C. N. Manlove as one of the three main writers – along with C. S. Lewis and Charles Williams – of "Christian fantasy" in the 20th century. John Northcote Nash CBE, RA (1893 – 1977) was a British painter of landscapes and still-lives, and a wood engraver and illustrator, particularly of botanic works, who collaborated on several Golden Cockerel publications.
