Postscript summary

The daughter of an artistic Kensington family (her grandfather was the painter Edward Burne-Jones, and Rudyard Kipling was a cousin), Angela Thirkell (1890–1961) wrote more than 30 novels. This biography recounts her upbringing, two marriages, the decade she spent as a journalist in Australia, and the meeting with the publisher Jamie Hamilton that resulted in the release of her bestselling Barsetshire series, set in an updated version of Trollope’s fictional county.
