John Symonds

John Symonds (12 March 1914 – 21 October 2006) was an English writer known for his biographies of Aleister Crowley, as well as novels, plays, and children's books. His literary career spanned several decades, covering a wide range of genres and subjects.

Symonds met Crowley in 1946 and became his literary executor, later writing multiple biographies, including ''The Great Beast'' (1952) and ''The Magic of Aleister Crowley'' (1958). While initially intrigued, he grew critical of Crowley’s practices, particularly regarding sex and drug use.

Beyond his Crowley biographies, Symonds wrote fiction and children’s books, such as ''The Magic Currant Bun ''(1953). Provided by Wikipedia
