Zusammenfassung:A biography of the author Angela Thirkell, known for her portrayals of English country life. Angela Thirkell, born in 1890, lived an exciting and fascinating life. She was the granddaughter of Georgiana and Edward Burne-Jones, the goddaughter of J. M.

And between 1931 and her death in 1961, she published more than thirty books across a variety of genres.
