Pan oedd John Cowper Powys yn blentyn, symudodd y teulu i fyw i Dorchester, swydd Dorset, ac wedi hynny, i Montacute, Gwlad yr Haf. Daeth tirlun hen deyrnas Wessex (sef yr ardal sy’n gefndir i nofelau Thomas Hardy) i chwarae rhan bwysig yn ei ddychymyg.

When John Cowper Powys was a boy, the family moved to Dorchester, Dorset, and afterwards to Montacute, Somerset. Thus the landscape of the old kingdom of Wessex (the setting for Thomas Hardy’s novels) came to play an important part in his imagination. Powys published his first volume of poems in 1896, and his first novel, Wood and Stone, in 1915.
