PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
"(Jane) Emily Gerard was a Scottish 19th-century author best known for the influence her collections of Transylvanian folklore had on Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula. She wrote stories for Blackwood’s Magazine, as well as reviewing French and German literature for The Times, and Blackwood's. Dorothea Gerard was a Scottish-born novelist and romance-writer who often wrote about controversial and unconventional subjects and ""whose general conservatism co-existed with a piercing eye for relations across national and ethnic divides, for antisemitism and other forms of prejudice."" At first she wrote for pleasure with older sister Emily Gerard but later carved an independent career publishing about forty books."
