“AUGUST CAME in, that summer of 1141, tawny as a lion and somnolent and purring as a heartside cat.”
Edith Mary Pargeter OBE BEM (28 September 1913 – 14 October 1995), also known by her pen name Ellis Peters, was an English author of works in many categories, especially history and historical fiction, and was also honoured for her translations of Czech classics.
