Official synopsis Publisher
“Of her personal charm I need say nothing: it is sufficiently known to many readers of these words. Like her gaiety and her common sense, it did not flag. How, then, was she not better known? Perhaps the combination of physical attractions and brilliance of mind was – as it has been to so many women – fatal to her success; perhaps she was overshadowed always by her brother; one feels at any rate that her contemporaries did not make all of her that should have been made.” — Hilton Brown, Secretary of The Kipling Society, 1949 “Fifty-four years on, but well worth the wait. This book is a treasure trove of unpublished writings by Rudyard’s beloved sister, Trix, and a fascinating collection of facts, memories, and photographs unearthed by Lorna Lee. Something for everyone here, Throughly recommended.” — Michael Smith of the Kipling Society, 2003
