Autograph Letter Signed to John Yeoman
asking what had become of your May weekend at Fontwell? I have (all being well) to be guest at a Foyle Bookshop tea party to meet a bunch of South African School children on Monday.. and I was wondering if there might be any chance of meeting, say for lunch, beforehand? Somewhere quiet and peaceful, and assessable by car and wheelchair, if such a place exists?... It's a long time since November and it would be pleasant to meet again... with a postscript that she could tell you all the sad story about the houseboat!..., 2 sides 8vo., Swallowshaw, Walburton, Arundel, BN18 0PQ, 30th May
Although she was primarily a children's author, some of her novels were specifically written for adults. In a 1986 interview she said, I would claim that my books are for children of all ages, from nine to ninety.
