Tirzah Garwood (1908 - 1951): 'Long Live Great Bardfield & Love to You All'

Just scanning the opening of the auto-biography by artist Tirzah Garwood, 'Long Live Great Bardfield & Love to You All', there is a you-must-buy-me-immediately winning line;

'In 1904, my sister Margaret, a very ugly baby with a large nose, was born'.

A memoir penned while dying of cancer of the spine, and yet which she described as, 'the happiest year of my life', and written for her family's entertainment. I am sure the progeny of said sister would have heartily enjoyed such avenging wit.
