A rediscovered work by one of the most exciting novelists of the 1930s
Pam Trevelyan Books
Gertrude Trevelyan was an English novelist whose five-year writing career from 1932 to 1941 was tragically cut short during the Blitz. Her groundbreaking work, largely forgotten after her death, is being rediscovered to reclaim her place in British literature. Her unique voice and significant, albeit brief, contribution to the literary landscape are now being celebrated, aiming to restore her to her rightful standing.
Touching on just a few serious subjects, the compilation of poems generally shows the funny side of life in a wide variety of ways. As well as totally fictional stories in rhyme, the author has picked up small aspects of her life and elaborated on them in a way to make them thought-provoking and very often humorous. Subject matters include christenings, funerals, barbecues, retirement, Christmas, animals and many more.
