Evelyn, by Dorothea Moore. Undated but around 1904. Hardback. Good. Pictorial blue boards, rather worn at the corners and at the upper and lower spine edges. Marks to the front and (especially) the back cover. Owner's bookplate and inscription on endpapers. Water-stain to the outer edge of the text block, extending about 0.5 cms into the pages. See photographs. An early work by the children's author Dorothea Moore who was born in Islington, London, in 1880, the daughter of a clergyman and his wife. She was educated at the Godolphin School in Salisbury and at Cheltenham Ladies' College. During World War I, she served in the Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD) and settled in Eastbourne afterward, keeping house for her brother, a physician. Her books include historical novels, girls' school stories, and stories about Girl Guides. She is credited with writing the first Guiding story for girls, Terry the Girl Guide (1930). She herself was an adult Guider from 1918 to 1927, and ran a Brownie pack from 1918 to 1928. Two of her plays, My Lady Bellamy and Grey Mask, were performed by a professional acting troupe, the Alexander Maclean Company, and it is possible that Dorothea also acted with them.
