Despite his literary success, he spent most of his adult life as a high-ranking official at the Bank of England, serving as its Secretary for a decade. His writing often celebrated the innocence of childhood and the serenity of the English countryside, themes rooted in his own difficult upbringing and deep love for the River Thames. His collections of stories, The Golden Age (1895) & Dream Days (1898), established his reputation for depicting the imaginative inner lives of children..
