I was sorry to see Evelyn Anthony’s obituary in today’s Guardian, but I suppose she did have a fair old innings. I devoured her books in the 1970s and have only just begun to buy any books by her that I see, I gave all my old ones away years ago in an effort to de-clutter prior to moving house, I’m sure you know what that’s like.
Anyway, if you’re interested in reading Evelyn Anthony’s obituary have a look here.
I’ve just realised that her obituary was published online on October 10th, but didn’t appear in the physical newspaper until October 31st. They must have a backlog to work through in the newspaper!
Hi Katrina,
Oh, gosh, isn’t this crazy? I had no idea that Evelyn Anthony was still alive.
I hate to see all my chummy authors go, I really do. I love the photo.
Do you happen to have a favorite book of hers?
Any dog lover is a love of mine.
Judith,
I was impressed by the number of dogs around her.
Judith,
It’s The Tamarind Seed that I seem to remember I really enjoyed although I liked them all. But it was so long ago that I read them although I bought a few recently to re-read.
