Entry updated 28 April 2025. Tagged: Author.
Working name of New-Zealand-born author Marie Elspeth Agnes Winch(1895-1939), in the UK from childhood. Of some sf interest is The Mountain of Gold (1928), a Lost Race tale set in South America, where Incan remains lead deep into the mountains, where a "primitive" Indian "tribe", which has established a Utopian society, is condescendingly discovered, along with Apes as Human foes, and an ancient race of prescient magi (see Prediction).
