Simpson was an Australian-born author who studied at Oxford, where she was sent down before completing her degree (apparently for breaking rules regarding the separation of the sexes in dramatic pursuits). She was a close friend of Dorothy L. Sayers, and a member of the Detection Club; she collaborated regularly with Clemence Dane most successfully on the novel, 'Enter Sir John'. The present novel, a Hanoverian romance, was made into a film by Basil Dearden in 1948.The dustjacket carries a striking design by Scottish artist Anna Zinkeisen.
