Kurzbiographie
Ursula Bloom was born in Chelmsford, Essex, the daughter of Rev. James Harvey Bloom, a Church of England clergyman, and his wife Mary (Polly) Gardner. She spent her early childhood in Whitchurch, Warwickshire. She began writing as a child, and read all the works of Charles Dickens before she was 10 years old. Her mother eventually left her father, taking Ursula and her brother to live in St. Albans. For two years, Ursula earned a living playing the piano in a cinema in nearby Harpenden. In 1916, she married Captain Arthur Denham-Cookes, with whom she had a son. Her husband died in 1918 during the worldwide influenza pandemic. In 1925, she remarried to Charles Gower Robinson of the Royal Navy. Ursula became a journalist and a prolific fiction and nonfiction writer. She worked as the chief crime reporter for the Sunday Dispatch and Empire News, and was the beauty editor for Woman's Own. She published more than 500 works in her career. Many of them were novels written under various pseudonyms, including Lozania Prole, Sheila Burns, Mary Essex, Rachel Harvey, Deborah Mann, and Sara Sloane. Under her birth name, she published a biography of her father, Parson Extraordinary (1963) and a biography of her great-grandmother Frances Graver, The Rose of Norfolk (1964). Ursula also wrote about her journalism experiences in The Mightier Sword (1966) and wrote Rosemary for Stratford-upon-Avon (1966) during the years she lived there. She was named a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society.

I bought this some time back. The cover and date of publication intrigued me. Published in Great Britain in 1949, it still had it's dust jacket. It is not always the story line that will make me purchase a book.

This is one in a series of "No Lady" books. In a series of short stories, Ursula Bloom tells of learning to drive.

Growing up the daughter of a clergy man, Ursula's family did not have a car. Some families had dog carts or donkey carts, but Ursula's family had the bicycle. Cars were fairly new and only those with money could afford them. At the age of seven she got her first ride and developed a bit of a love for cars.

At the end of The Great War (WWI) Ursula was widowed and using a bicycle. Things changed when her brother returned and bought a motorcycle with a side car. Granted, it wasn't the most luxurious mode of transportation in bad weather, but it was better than the bicycle.

After a number of humourous misadventures, The opportunity came up for Ursula and her brother to buy a car. It was used and not the best, but it was a car. At this point the stories of their adventures take off.

Written in a light, feminine style that was common in 1949, it is a fun read. Also interesting to note that Bloom wrote over 500 books during her life time (1892 - 1984), which got her a listing the the Guiness Book. She wrote under five pen names besides her own.
