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.
Authors who died in 1947 will enter public domain in Life+70 countries on January 1, 2018.

We do have books by Belloc Lowndes in the library as a search will show; they are currently offline but they should be restored early next year.
