Isobel English : ウィキペディア英語版 | Isobel English June Guesdon Braybrooke (born June Guesdon Jolliffe on 9 June 1920 in London, died 30 May 1994 in London), better known by her pen name Isobel English, was an English writer. ==Life== Born in London to the Welsh civil servant John Mayne Jolliffe (1885–1957) and his Tasmanian wife May Guesdon (1885–1966), June had to go to Brittany when she was two for a salt-water cure for tuberculosis of the spine. Upon her return she was sent in 1928 to La Retraite, a convent school in Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, which she described in her 1956 novel ''Every Eye''. After secretarial college in London she was taught literature by Kenneth Allott while working with him. She married Ronald Dundas Orr-Ewing in 1941 and they had a daughter, Victoria, in the following year, but they were divorced in 1951. In 1953, she married a fellow writer, Neville Braybrooke (1923–2001). Her many literary friends included Beryl Bainbridge, Olivia Manning, and Stevie Smith, who described her tone as "very sagacious and very original - a voice of our times, ironical and involved." She died of leukaemia on 30 May 1994 and was buried in Hampstead Cemetery, Fortune Green, London.〔''The Independent'', June 7, 1994. Obituary; ODNB entry: (Retrieved 15 March 2012.
