England but lived in Canada most of her life. She worked in Toronto
in its most respected bookstore, Britnell's, formerly just north of Bloor

The Captive Gypsy (1928) and The Celtic Heart
(1929), and translated Georges Bugnet's novel Nipsya (1929).
She lived from 1929 to 1937 in Apartment 5, 142 Carleton St., and
died young in 1937.
