was known to produce literary work, publishing a short poem in Pamela Colman Smith’s short-lived periodical The Green Sheaf; a fairy tale in The English Illustrated Magazine; and, in 1916, the book The Clan of Munes. Intended as a work of American folklore aimed at children, the book lays out the fictional history and adventures of the “Munes, or tribe of American Fairies”, creatures Waugh regarded as a “gift to his fellow countrymen”. He reported that the idea for these driftwood-based fairies had come to him two summers previously when painting at Monhegan, Maine. Together with his non-marine artworks, these pieces reflect Waugh’s lifelong interest in fairy lore and the supernatural. In an interview with New York City paper The Sun (4 November 1916, p. 9), he asserted that he “dreamed dreams and saw visions—real ones”, and described his history of writing fairy tales, along with his regret at burning the stories he had written while in London.
