Lorna Lewis (writer)
Lorna Concanen Lewis (1900 - 1962) was a British writer who published a number of popular children's books during the middle part of the 20th century. Among these, the best known is perhaps Leonardo the Inventor, which was included in the New Windmill Series of children's books under the Heinemann imprint.
Lewis graduated with a degree in philosophy from University College, London in 1924.[1] She worked in a variety of roles, including on Time and Tide magazine in the 1930s[2] as book reviewer and organiser, and was a good friend of EM Delafield.[3]
