EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph from 1934, acclaimed English novelist and playwright Dodie Smith (1896-1990) is captured in her idyllic rural retreat in Essex. The former workmen's thatched cottages, now converted into one charming abode named The Barretts, have become her sanctuary where she finds inspiration for her literary works. The Eastern counties of Essex and Suffolk have recently gained popularity among fashionable types as desirable locations for their country homes. Dodie, an authoress of great repute, is seen embracing the rural charm of her new surroundings. In the foreground, she is engrossed in the traditional craft of thatching, a nod to her appreciation for the local trades. Her determination is evident as she focuses intently on the task at hand, a testament to her versatility and resourcefulness.
