Person
Elizabeth Reid studied Art before becoming a writer. She was known for her children's books which she both wrote and illustrated. After marrying in Vancouver, she spent five years in Canada, including time in the far north, where bears lurked in the surrounding forests.
She had three children and lived in the Cotswolds for several years, before relocating to Ireland, where she continued to live following the death of her husband.
Roundabouts and Swings is her debut novel, written in her nineties.
