Hilda Winifred Lewis (1896-1974) was a British novelist. Lewis originally worked as a teacher, but started writing when she moved to Nottingham in the 1920s. Most of her works were historical novels, some of which, such as ''I Am Mary Tudor'' (1972), received critical attention. Her young adult historical novel ''The Gentle Falcon'', was adapted for television.〔(''The Gentle Falcon'' ) at IMDb〕 She also wrote a noted children's book, ''The Ship that Flew'' (1939) which concerns Norse mythology and time travel. The 1946 novel ''The Day is Ours'' about a young deaf girl was the basis of the film ''Mandy''. The novel in turn was inspired by the work of her husband Professor M. Michael Lewis who was a specialist in the education of the deaf at Nottingham University. == Selected works == * ''The Ship that Flew'' (1939) * ''The Day Is Ours'' (1946) – Formed the basis of the screenplay of the 1952 film ''Mandy''. * ''The Gentle Falcon'' (1952) * ''The Witch and the Priest'' (1956) * ''I, Jacqueline'' (1957) * ''Penny Lace'' (1957), reprint 2011 * ''Wife to Great Buckingham'' (1959) * ''Here Comes Harry'' (1960) * ''Wife to Charles II'' (1965) * ''Wife to the Bastard'' (1966) * ''Harold Was My King'' (1968) * ''Harlot Queen'' (1970), about Isabella of France〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Novels of the Late 13th, 14th and 15th Centuries in Europe )〕 * ''I Am Mary Tudor'' (1972) * ''Rose of England'' (1977 – published posthumously) * ''Heart of a Rose'' (1978 – published posthumously) 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「Hilda Lewis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
