I'm currently reading A Moveable Feast by Hemingway. During a conversation between Gertrude Stein and Hemingway, Marie Belloc Lowndes is mentioned (recommended by Stein to Ernest). I googled her and found that she died in 1947, which by my poor maths puts her in the UK public domain.

I checked the Kindle section of the library; she's not there. I managed to get a copy of The Lodger from Gutenberg UK. She wrote masses of books. It would be great to have some of them in beautifully formatted form in the MR library.

Thanks.
