Surname[edit]

(quote text) "the youngest daughter of Edward Vipont Brown [and Dorothy Brown]"
(quote Ext link[1]) "Real Name: Elfrida Vipont Brown Foulds"; "Also wrote as E. V. Foulds, Charles Vipont"
WorldCat reports a biography by Susan Vipont Hartshorne, entitled Elfrida: Elfrida Vipont Foulds 1902–1992 [2]

Evidently, Foulds was her only husband's surname. Was she born Elfrida Vipont Brown? ~~Was Brown her mother's family name, taken by her father after marriage (as many couples hyphenate today)?~~ Was Brown her father's family name? Or Vipont Brown her father's family name (compare Frank Cottrell Boyce)?

Whatever the facts, should some be covered in the lead sentence? --P64 (talk) 22:30, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I see we have mother's maiden name "Doroth Brown (née Crowley)" --P64 (talk) 03:02, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Biography of Elizabeth Fry by Vipont(?)[edit]

"She also wrote a biography of the famous Victorian Quaker prison reformer Elizabeth Fry."
—"About the Author", one section of the retrospective (2007?) citation for Vipont's 1950 Carnegie Medal in Literature.[3]

I find no such book. — google search "Elizabeth Fry Elfrida Vipont" hits that citation, of course, but other top hits seem to be listings of prominent Quakers. — Our biography Elizabeth Fry includes a bibliography of about ten books, none by Fry/Vipont. (but her biographies of authors were written for young adults(?), may not be considered reliable(?))

Perhaps Vipont did "biograph" Fry in an article rather than a book, or in a chapter in one of her books on Quakerism. --P64 (talk) 23:48, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Biography of Vipont by Hartshorne[edit]

Quoted in full from the annotated bibliography "Recent Scholarship in Quaker History" (2010) Friends Historical Association

Hartshorne, Susan Vipont. Elfrida : Elfrida Vipont Foulds 1902 to 1992. York [England] : Quacks Books, 2010.

A biography about Elfrida Vipont Foulds. Elfrida Vipont wrote over 40 books. Some are serious books about Quakerism; some are written for teenagers - adventure stories or biographies of famous authors; and some are suitable for much younger readers. She was awarded a Carnegie Medal for The Lark on the Wing, and her book for reading to the very young, The Elephant and the Bad Baby, has become a classic. However, not many of her readers know that Elfrida trained first as a professional singer and that she spent the war years as headmistress of a school for evacuees. Only after that did she turn to writing as a full time career. Elfrida was also an inspiring lecturer, speaking both about her books and also on Quaker subjects.

Ghost stories[edit]

last of multiple new sections posted during one session

Among other things today I have added all of the 8(?) distinct titles listed by [ref name=FHA]; then all except one of 3(?) distinct titles I located easily at WorldCat. The one is Ghosts' high noon. It's a collection published in the U.S. one year after a listed British title, evidently another collection; thus I suspect they are the same book. Both are in the U.S. national library catalog without enough information to resolve the point:

"Terror by night: a book of strange stories" (London: Hamilton, 1966)
"Ghosts' high noon" (New York: H.Z. Walck, 1967)
