Favell Lee Mortimer? Never heard the name! This small biography tells her story and it is a surprising, engaging and inspiring one.
In fact, I quickly discovered that I had come across Mrs Mortimer: when I was seven, I was introduced to her book The Peep of Day, but the title page did not give the author’s name. The book had a profound effect on me, and is still on my bookshelves.
