Beschreibung zu „The Beckoning Lady“
Mr William Makepeace Faraday, author of many amusing librettos, died last Saturday in Pontisbright, Suffolk, at the age of eighty-two.
He was born in Cambridge in the late sixties, the son of Dr James Faraday, one-time Master of Ignatius, and Mrs Caroline Faraday, whom all who knew the University in the days preceding the First World War will remember for her dominant charm and, without ingratitude, for the overaweing hospitality which she dispensed to the undergraduates of that remote and golden age.
William Faraday was educated at Charterhouse and St John’s College, Cambridge, and when he left the University he settled down to a curiously retired existence in the home of his parents, and it was only after the death of his mother in 1932, when he was fifty-nine, that his remarkable talent became evident.
