Mary Harrison

Working with her husband Peter Harrison, she first became known for books about paranormal subjects. Information available from retailer listings credits the pair with The Children That Time Forgot in 1983, followed by other titles on unusual experiences and ghost stories.

Those same sources say they went on to write a dozen books together, including practical hobby and craft titles as well as fiction. A later listing describes her as a London-based author who wrote ten books and a play across the 1980s and 1990s.

Because reliable biographical information on her is limited online, many personal details are hard to confirm. What does come through clearly is the breadth of her interests: the supernatural, storytelling, and accessible how-to writing for general readers.
