#1 Has anyone read anything by Kathleen Norris

I have 4 of hers. I like her books, but it's been a while.

Well, search function isn't working at all, and touchstones neither.

Several of her books are discussed on the Right Living thread in this group.

Which one do you mean? I suspect you mean (2), but I know (1).

BTW Searching an individual library works, just not site search and related things like touchstones.

Well, I meant Kathleen Norris (2).

I used to read her a lot when I was in my teens, about the same time I was enjoying romances by Emilie Loring and Grace Livingston Hill. She wrote romances and mysteries. I can't remember any of them particularly, but I wouldn't be surprised if they had a Christian or a moral aspect to them, since I read a lot of that sort of thing then.

Co-opting this old thread.

I was working on the Combination project, and came across Naomi Lewis who has translated and edited many of the children's folk classics. And I wondered whether her work stands out and should be kept separate from the massive general works. It appears the owners of many of her titles feel they deserve to stay separate. So, that put the question to rest.

But I busied myself adding some CK and a picture and some links.
Her obituary in The Guardian is well worth reading. She sounds like a lovely lady, surrounded by books and working on projects at age 97, and into her death bed.

The last tribute ends:
"Occasionally I'd run into her at a party - though security sometimes mistook her for a bag lady and could be difficult about letting her in. Eccentric she might have been, but she was sweetness and benevolence personified. She never met my children, but always asked after them and when we last spoke, she still remembered their names."
