It certainly sounds more plausible, but alas (possibly alas for her as well) that wasn't the case. "The exciting new novel from Lalage Pulvertaft!" Must have been challenging for her publishers as well...Furrowed Middlebrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065110409019861653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595702824833504762.post-48643077157971745552016-04-11T09:37:43.319-07:002016-04-11T09:37:43.319-07:00Sorry, Tom!

It makes them real people instead of just names on my list.

I was busy enjoying the towers and general layout of the buildings in that cover, and never noticed the face, and had to scan through the post three times to figure out which cover you were talking about. Aside from that strange face in the middle arch, I rather like the cover art on A Question of Love. <br /><br />Tracking these things down seems to be very difficult. Many thanks to Scott and friends.<br /><br />JerriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595702824833504762.post-62142349704338507132016-04-08T05:56:00.214-07:002016-04-08T05:56:00.214-07:00Himmel!

Yetta Blaze de Bury? And (really?)Lalage Pulvertaft? No matter how much one might say, "Oh, but it's my real name," there's no excuse. I mean, does she really expect legions of readers at cocktail parties to say, "Have you read Lalage Pulvertuft's latest?" <br /><br />And those covers... Um, the giant nun looking out from between the arches? Poor Lalage, she finds herself a nice pseudonym and ends up with a very weird cover artist.<br /><br />Thanks as always, Scott, for all this amazing literary stuff.Susan Dhttp://www.susandaly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595702824833504762.post-3903618037018349382016-04-07T10:30:19.425-07:002016-04-07T10:30:19.425-07:00DRAT!

She lived in Bacton near Stowmarket Suffolk and was very involved in The Scout movement.When my mum was a Cub Scout leader in the late 1940s in Stowmarket Suffolk, Mrs Addis was the District Cub Scout leader and when I was a Cub Scout leader in Bacton between 1976 and 1992 Mrs Addis was writing stories for boys in Scouting magazine as well as Books for boys about Scouting. Mrs Addis lived in a beautiful old house and each summer allowed the Bacton Scout Group to use her garden for a fund raising Fete. - Happy days.<br />I'm not sure you wanted to know this but it's more information about her to add to what you know.Sue in Suffolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166036914348424622noreply@blogger.com
