publication of her first "Mrs. Tim" book. Dorothy Emily
Stevenson died the 30th of December 1973 at the age of 81

A Quote from D.E.
Stevenson:
My books are all novels
as it is the human element which interests me most in life;
some of my books are light and amusing and others are
serious studies of character, but they are human and
carefully thought out, and perhaps it is for these two
reasons that my public is so diverse and ranges from
university professors to old ladies and small
boys!
