Helen Swift, authoress

[wolshouse]

Since the Christmas I was 8, I have had a book entitled Ruth and Mr. Podge. There are two sisters in the book, Anne, 13 and Ruth 11. I was eager for my sister, Ann, to reach 13 when, for just a couple of months, I would still be 11 and therefore the same ages as my storybook characters (strangely enough quite similar to my sister and me).
The authoress is/was Helen Swift and the book was first published in 1939 and reprinted in 1948, the year I received my Christmas present. Publishers Thomas Nelson and Sons.
I have looked on Google and have found a Helen Swift, but don't think it is the same one. Can anybody help me? Thank you. Ruth

Thank you factor30. Helen Miller Swift seems to be American, yet the book I mention is written in such an English way that I don't think it can be the same person.

On my third post I included a link to the book you asked about so that third one is the right Helen Swift

I can't work out what you are asking, wolshouse.What more do you need to know?

Hi- have you seen my comments, wolshouse? I'm not clear what it is you want to know.

Can I put this one to bed, wolshouse? I'm still not clear what you are wanting to know but I'm assuming it no longer matters.
