Joan Mary Wayne Brown

Mary Gervaise, Hilary Wayne and Bellamy Brown are the pseudonyms for Joan Mary Wayne Brown. She was born on 21 April 1906 and died on 26 April 1998. She was a prolific writer, publishing over 70 books.[1] A bout of anaemia caused her to pursue writing at the age of 18, rather than attending college.[2]

As Mary Gervaise, she wrote several books for children. The majority of them were school related, but the Georgie and Belinda series were about horses.

gollark: My device was not doing audio output on the headphone jack. I had to muck around with ADB (as root because of course) and change some mysterious setting in a config file and it worked.
gollark: Also, I had an unfathomable Android issue and it turned out to actually be quite fathomable, so I'm happy?
gollark: I have no idea, I just saw its existence.
gollark: Er, there's some challenge-y app on Android for building circuits or something? I've seen it.
