Born in Wellington College, Berkshire, he was the son of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Edward White Benson. Educated at Marlborough and King's College, Cambridge, Benson was a versatile writer, producing over a hundred books throughout his career, including ghost stories, historical biographies, and social satires.
