Stokes and Harnett, siblings or cousins?[edit]

(George) Vernon Stokes collaborated with Harnett many times at least from 1936 to 1950. One internet bookseller calls them brother and sister:

"George Vernon Stokes (1873 - 1954) was an illustrator of great renown, who made pictures and drawings for scores of dog encyclopedias, breed books, and stories. Together with his sister Cynthia Harnett, Stokes produced numerous large format illustrated children's stories with a dog or dogs as central characters."

(That is partly repeated on several pages at eBay.)

According to German-language DE wikipedia: Cynthia Harnett they were cousins. As rendered by Google translate:

Cynthia Harnett, actually Mary Cynthia Harnett (* 22 June 1893 in Kensington , London , † 25 October 1981 in Hook , Hampshire ) was a British writer.

Harnett was a graduate of Chelsea School of Art (London). Then started working with her cousin, the painter George Vernon Stokes (1873-1954) and lasted throughout their lives.

The last years of her life spent in Harnett Seniorenstift "Maryfield Convent" - led by the Dominican Sisters of Malta - in Hook, Hampshire. She died at the age of 88 in Hook, and there I found their last resting place.

There are mistakes in the translation but the crucial passage (underline) is good.

"Books by Cynthia Harnett" at goodtoread.org:

"According to her entry in the Dictionary of Literary Biography, Cynthia Harnett was born in Kensington in 1893 and studied art at the Chelsea School of Art before studying and collaborating with her artist cousin G. Vernon Stokes. Her own early interest in ruined castles and old churches led her to write books for children which she hoped would engender in them a similar interest in the history of ordinary people. She died in 1981 in Maryfield Convent nursing home in Hook, Hants."

This may be the source for DE.wikipedia where goodtoread.org is one Ext link.

We should go directly to DLB.
