The letter was sent to a mutual friend, as Mr. Pannett did not know either my married name or my address. His wife wrote, ‘ We wanted to get intouch with you as we really enjoyed your book. It was particularly interesting to me as I was a Chandos girl from 1946-50. It brought it all back to me…Miss Oyston, Miss Hyde and Miss Pike. When you wrote about the shops down the lane it was just like being tansported back to England.’ Her husband added, in large capital letters on thick-lined notepaper, written with obvious difficulty due to his near-blindness, ‘A short note in appreciation of your literary achievement. Thank you! Eric and Joan Pannett, N. Auckland, New Zealand.
