badgerbagI was just at coffee with yatima talking about Noel Streatfeild . I assumed Noel was a man and did some handwaving magic in my head like "and Noel was just kinda like Arthur Ransome: cool and maybe a little suspiciously pervy in his interests in the inner lives of young girls". Yatima insisted Noel must be a woman because the details of ballet were totally correct. Yay, wireless, because we looked it up and not only is her name Mary Noel, she also wrote a whole book about E. Nesbit.
This may not be news to many of you, but it was to me!
