"Ancient Lights", written by Algernon Blackwood in 1912 and published 2 years later, is the tale of a man hired to remove a standing grove of trees so the owner's house can maintain the direct light and view it enjoyed for a number of years.

Algernon Henry Blackwood (March 14, 1869 to December 10, 1951) was an English writer of tales of the speculative, paranormal, and gothic intrigue. He began writing during his brief, lasting residency in Canada; inspiring some of his settings. He even helped to found the Toronto Theosophical Society.

Although he wrote a number of horror stories, his typical work seeks less to frighten than to induce a sense of awe. His best stories, such as those collected in the book "Incredible Adventures", are masterpieces of atmosphere, construction, and suggestion. Now surpassing 100 years, Algernon's suite of work is happily available in the public domain.
