...Elizabeth Goudge, 70, has led an even quieter life. The only child of a parson, she spent her youth in two English cathedral towns, Wells and Ely. She never married, never expected her writing to become more than a pastime, and now lives serenely in a tiny 17th century house in the Thames Valley. The most lyrical of the group, she is also the least concerned with plot. Child from the Sea is her 25th novel, and she claims mildly that it will be her last. - Victoria Holt is a pseudonym, the only one in the group. Its owner...

But he saw only two alternatives: "Either violent revolution or a real change in which...
...window overlooking the shuffleboard courts, the swimming pool, the beach-his haunts on normal days. He seems to be a tall man (although he really isn't), perhaps because he is still so fit and dapper. Bright blue shirt, ruddy tan face, white hair combed back. He is much quieter than my grandmother, a little hard of hearing now, and is very good with a cigar. You might say he plays George Burns to his wife's Gracie Allen...
