About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of The Secret Key, And Other Verses by George Essex Evans. Read in English by Alan Mapstone; Lynda Marie Neilson; Wayne Cooke; FrigidBones; Andrew Gaunce; Soeun (Kelly) Park; Larry Wilson; Adrian Stephens; Rachel May; Paul Harvey; Cavaet Born in London of Welsh parents, George Essex Evans was raised and educated by his mother Mary Ann (née Owen) in Pembrokeshire after she was widowed when George was only a few months old. Emigrating to Queensland with his siblings Australia at age 17 with the intention of farming, Evans however was badly injured in a horse riding accident, when he was thrown against a tree, and was unable to do any physical work. Evans was described as a reserved man, and at times rather moody and impulsive. However, he was also described as a kind person and a loyal friend. He had a strong sense of honour and self-respect, traits which made him a model husband and father. Evans was described as having a tremendous memory, particularly for poetic verse, of which he was able to recite a prodigious amount. Few of his contemporaries were able to match his breadth of knowledge of English, American and Australian poetry. Summary by Wikipedia
