A Note on the Author
Lettice Cooper was born in Eccles, Lancashire in 1897. She began to write stories when she was seven, and later graduated with a degree in Classics from Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford in 1918. She returned home after Oxford to work for her family’s engineering firm; she wrote her first novel, The Lighted Room, in 1925. During her long career, she spent a year as Associate Editor at Time and Tide and during the Second World War worked for the Ministry of Food’s public relations division; she was also one of the founders of the Writers’ Action Group and received an OBE for her work in achieving Public Lending Rights. In 1987, at the age of ninety, she was awarded the Freedom of the City of Leeds. She never married, and died in 1994 in Coltishall, Norfolk.
