Margery Sharp published her first novel, Rhododendron Pie, in 1930 and went on to produce more than two dozen novels for adult readers over the next five decades. Her work ranged from sharp social comedies like The Nutmeg Tree (1937) to quieter character studies like The Gypsy in the Parlour (1953). Cluny Brown (1944) became a film directed by Ernst Lubitsch.
She also wrote The Rescuers series of children’s books, beginning in 1959. The stories follow Miss Bianca, a white mouse, and her companion Bernard on rescue missions around the world. Disney adapted the series into two animated films. Sharp continued writing children’s books through the 1970s, with Bernard Into Battle (1978) among her final titles.
