Catherine Christian (1901–1985) was an English novelist, known for her children’s books and retellings of Arthurian legend. She is classified〔http://www.worldcat.org/identities/lccn-nr95-32714/〕 as having produced 45 works in 85 publications in two languages (English and French) and with 1,019 library holdings. She was also involved with the Girl Guide movement and published several books for girls in the "Ranger" series under the nom de plume of Patience Gilmour. ==Early life== Catherine Christian was born on 22 June 1901〔http://www.freebmd.org.uk/〕 in Chelsea, London, England, the daughter of a German father, Christian John Mühlenkamp, and an English mother, Catherine Harriett (née Ellett, born〔 in Wandsworth in 1873). Christian and Catherine had married〔 in Wandsworth in 1899. Her birth was registered as Mamie Muhlenkamp, but the family may have changed their surname〔http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/316779.Catherine_Christian〕 during World War I. There is no legal evidence for this name change and Mamie remained "Mulenkamp" in her school records, although later became known as Catherine Mary Christian. Mamie attended Croydon High School for girls between 25 September 1911 and 25 June 1920, initially at the site in Purley and then from September 1914 at the main school. In 1919 her school records show that she achieved Senior Oxford Class III with subjects English, History, Religious Knowledge, French, German, Mathematics and Botany. After leaving school she returned to live at home. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Catherine Christian」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
