Masefield gives an account of life aboard the Conway in his book New Chum. While he was on the ship he listened to the stories told about sea lore, continued to read, and decided that he was to become a writer and story-teller himself. It was aboard the Conway that Masefield's love of story-telling grew. He spent several years aboard this ship, and found that he could spend much of his time reading and writing. After an unhappy education at the King's School in Warwick (now known as Warwick School), where he was a boarder between 18, he left to board HMS Conway, both to train for a life at sea and to break his addiction to reading, of which his aunt thought little. His father died soon afterwards, following a mental breakdown. His mother died giving birth to his sister when Masefield was six, and he went to live with his aunt. Masefield was born in Ledbury in Herefordshire, to George Masefield, a solicitor, and his wife Caroline. Among his best known works are the children's novels The Midnight Folk and The Box of Delights, and the poems The Everlasting Mercy and " Sea-Fever".
