Jean Plaidy was one of the pen names of Eleanor Alice Hibbert (n\u00e9e Burford; 1 September 1906 \u2013 18 January 1993) who was an English writer of historical romances. She was a prolific writer who published several books a year in different literary genres, each genre under a different pen name: Jean Plaidy for fictionalized history of European royalty, Victoria Holt for gothic romances, and Philippa Carr for a multi-generational family saga. She also wrote light romances, crime novels, murder mysteries and thrillers under pseudonyms Eleanor Burford, Elbur Ford, Kathleen Kellow, Anna Percival, and Ellalice Tate.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It was only four blogs ago I mentioned Jackie Moggerridge, who was a Spitfire pilot during the war, and told her story in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tikit.net\/Later%20PANs\/PANG238.htm\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em><strong>&#8216;Woman Pilot&#8217; <\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/a>Now I don&#8217;t know if it is just a coincidence or that Royal Mail read my blog (ha ha) but last week on the 5th they issued a set of four stamps to commemorate the ladies who did such sterling work under arduous conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tikit.net\/panfans\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Pilots.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tikit.net\/panfans\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Pilots.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11911\" width=\"460\" height=\"262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tikit.net\/panfans\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Pilots.jpg 919w, https:\/\/www.tikit.net\/panfans\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Pilots-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tikit.net\/panfans\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Pilots-768x437.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think I may have asked this before but does anyone know if there was ever books 1 and 2 in the Berkley series \u2018Selections from the PAN Book of Horror Stories\u2019?
