About this ebook
Elisabeth Inglis-Jones
Elisabeth Inglis-Jones (1900-1994) was born in London, but grew up at Derry Ormond, near Lampeter, an estate her family had owned since 1783. She published her first novel Starved Fields in 1929, which caused something of a scandal because its picture of Cardiganshire life showed the men, at least, as drunken brutes. It was followed by five more novels, but in her later years she turned to local history and biography. The best-known of these books was The Great Maria, a biography of the early 19th century author Maria Edgeworth (1959). Peacocks in Paradise, (1950), the story of Thomas Johnes and his ‘palace’ at Hafod, near Aberystwyth, has rarely been out of print since it was first published. Inglis-Jones had moved to Camberley, Surrey, by 1937, where she lived for the rest of her life. She never married. Derry Ormond mansion was sold in 1950 and demolished in 1953.
