Thanks to Jo Robins and Sue Tredrea for this page.

British children’s author. Her first novel, The Swish of the Curtain (1941), begun when she was 14, tells the story of a young people’s theatre company. With her earnings from it, she trained as an actress at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, and worked on the professional stage as ‘Mela Brown’, to avoid confusion with another actress of the same name. She wrote several sequels to her first book, and other children’s novels; for some years she produced children's programmes for BBC television.
