<biog>Daisy Ashford (Mrs George Norman) wrote <i>The Young Visiters</i>, a small
comic masterpiece, while still a young child in Lewes. It was found in a drawer
in 1919 and sent to Chatto and Windus, who published it in the same year with an
introduction by J. M. Barrie, who had first insisted on meeting the author in order
to check that she was genuine.</biog>
