She dictated her first story, 'The Life of Father McSwiney', when she was four and finished her last, 'The Hangman's Daughter', when she was fourteen. *The Young Visiters*, her most famous story, was written in 1890 soon after the family moved to Lewes, Sussex. Daisy was 36 when *The Young Visiters* was rediscovered and it was published two years later in 1919. In the following January she married James Devlin and spent the rest of her life in Norfolk. They had four children. Although all five of her other stories that survive
