As a young man he was ordained a minister of the Congregational church but he resigned after a disagreement with his deacons over doctrine, and from 1853 he earned his living by lecturing and writing, often in poor health, which meant periodic travelling in search of purer air for his lungs. In 1851 he married Louisa Powell, with whom he spent a long and happy life, sadly ending in grief when three of his thirteen children died of tuberculosis and he suffered a stroke that deprived him of speech for his last five years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe was a prolific writer, yet it is his fantasies for children that have survived.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Princess and the Goblin\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewas the second of these, published first as a serial in\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eGood Words for the Young\u003c\/i\u003e, a periodical of which he became editor for a short time in 1869.
