Biography
Hilda Winifred Lewis (1896-1974) was a British novelist.
Lewis originally worked as a teacher, but started writing when she moved to Nottingham in the 1920s.
Most of her works were historical novels, some of which, such as I Am Mary Tudor (1972), received critical attention. Her young adult historical novel The Gentle Falcon, was adapted for television.
She also wrote a noted children's book, The Ship that Flew (1939) which concerns Norse mythology and time travel.
The 1946 novel The Day is Ours about a young deaf girl was the basis of the film Mandy. The novel in turn was inspired by the work of her husband Professor M. Michael Lewis who was a specialist in the education of the deaf at Nottingham University.
