Pamela Hansford Johnson is one of the most successful and acclaimed novelists of our time.
Johnson's works, with which the present generation seems more particularly delighted, are such as true life in its true state, diverified only by accidents that daily happen in the world, and influenced by passions and qualities which are really to be found in conversing with mankind.

In the Pamela Johnson's novels, every transaction and sentiment was so remote from all that passes among men, that the reader was in very little danger of making any applications himself. The novels were equally beyond sphere of activity and she amused herself with heroes and with traitors, deliverers and persecutors, as with beings of another species, whose actions were regulated upon motives of her own.
Her last novel was "The Holiday Friend". And earlier this year the appearance of "A Summer to Decide" completed the reissue of her classic Helena trilogy. In 1974 Macmillan published her widely praised "Important to Me: Personalia".
