A tribute to the alliterative literary lady of Larne, by Denis Johnston and Douglas Cleverdon
Personal recollections by William Yeates and Norman Carrothers
Production by Douglas Cleverdon

The three novels of Mrs. Amanda McKittrick Ros are masterpieces of unconscious humour written with such euphuistic artificiality that Aldous Huxley has described the authoress as 'an Elizabethan born out of her time.' She described herself, characteristically, as 'by birth an Irishwoman, though a dash of German blood piebalds my veins.'
