Pseudonym of UK-born teacher, journalist and author Mary Rose Coulton (1906-2002), author of Father: A Portrait of G G Coulton (1948), an impressive biography of her father George Gordon Coulton (1858-1947), the important medieval scholar who also wrote Friar's Lantern (1906), a Timeslip fantasy. Her fourth novel, Thirty Million Gas Masks (1936), is a Near Future tale predictive of the coming catastrophe. After being expelled in 1937 from Germany, where she had been teaching Jewish children, she spent most of her remaining life in Australia and New Zealand; her later novels, mostly set in Australia, are not fantastic. Her last novel, Come Again (1951), though essentially nonfantastic, depicts the enterprise of founding a Utopian community in Paraguay. [JC]
