However, she is very scathing about people who imagine nuns glide around in a mystical dream, saying they are far too busy for that!

I've actually had Coulson flagged for a while to add to my list, but I've been confused between her and her mother(?) or daughter, can't recall which, who shared the same name. Thanks for reminding me that I need to unpack that though. And Banner for Pegasus does sound charming!Furrowed Middlebrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065110409019861653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595702824833504762.post-72209337086538982812018-08-27T06:14:00.058-07:002018-08-27T06:14:00.058-07:00Scott, there is a slight error in the above inform...Scott, there is a slight error in the above information on Harriet Capes. I recently found a copy of 'Within the Enclosure' in a bookshop. It is by Hester Delgairn, not Harriet. It is a novel, and although it is obviously by a devout Catholic, I had no idea it was by a nun. It is a very well-told story.

In the 1930s and 1940s, she published four books, then teamed with her husband John Coulson (as John Bonett) to write a number of mysteries. I haven’t read any of the solo novels, but A Banner for Pegasus, a joint effort, was a fun detective story about a film company on location in an English village.—NinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
