Who was Mary Ann Gibbs?

Answer 1

There were and are, of course, many Mary Ann Gibbs but the one I am referring to was an English author. She wrote fiction and non fiction works but I am most familiar with her Victorian and Historical romances.

She is most famous for wrinting Dinah but has an extensive list of mostly out of print works published between 1950 and 1982.

Mary Ann Gibbs - Small bio from the back dust jacket of the hardbound, UK published book - The Milliner's Shop.

"Mary Ann Gibbs was born in Sussex, the daughter of a doctor who, until his retirement, was a country G.P. She has always loved history and enjoyed historical research and each of her previous sixty (!!) novels has been tackled in a different way. She has also written many articles, short stories and serials.

Mary Ann Gibbs has a great love for the countryside, inherited from her father, who was descended from a line of Sussex yeoman farmers, going back to the thirteenth century. Now a widow, she has one son, an architect whose work lies with historic buildings. This she finds a great help in the authenticity of her work, being herself a stickler for accuracy. "

Just to let you know Mary Ann Gibbs also writes under the name Elizabeth Ford."

She also wrote under the last name of Hunt.
