Ursula Bloom (1892–1984) was a British novelist. == Biography == Born 11 December 1892 in Springfield, Chelmsford, Essex, Ursula Harvey Bloom was the daughter of the Reverend James Harvey Bloom, whom she wrote about in a biography entitled ''Parson Extraordinary''. She also wrote about her great-grandmother, Frances Graver (born 1809) who was of gypsy (Diddicoy) breeding. Graver became known as ''The Rose of Norfolk'', (the title of the book by Ursula Bloom). Ursula Bloom lived for a number of years in Stratford-upon-Avon, which was the subject of her book, ''Rosemary for Stratford-upon-Avon'' 〔Detail from a copy of ''The Rose of Norfolk'' published by Robert Hale (London) in 1964〕 She wrote her first book at the age of seven. Charles Dickens was always a dominant influence; she had read every book of his before she was ten years of age, and then re-read them in her teens. A prolific author, she wrote over 500 books, an achievement that earned her recognition in the ''Guinness Book of World Records''. Many of her novels were written under pseudonyms, including Sheila Burns, Mary Essex, Rachel Harvey, Deborah Mann, Lozania Prole and Sara Sloane.〔http://www3.shropshire-cc.gov.uk/bloom.htm〕 She appeared frequently on British television. Her journalistic experiences were written about in her book ''The Mightier Sword''〔Facts from a copy of ''The Rose of Norfolk'' published by Robert Hale (London) in 1964〕 Her hobbies included needlework, which she exhibited, and cooking. Ursula Bloom married twice. Her first husband was Arthur Brownlow Denham-Cookes, whom she married in 1916 and with whom she had a son, Pip, born in 1917. Arthur was killed in battle in 1918.
