Ella Noyes
Author · 2 books
Ella Noyes (1863-1949) was one of three sisters who lived together for almost fifty years in a house called Fosters in Sutton Veny, in Wiltshire. The three sisters were considered to be slightly eccentric. Being feminists, they never married or had children, but they loved children and were very interested in their upbringing. The three sisters traveled often to Italy, spoke Italian fluently and were fascinated by Italian culture. This interest was reflected in the many books Ella Noyes wrote about Italy-many of which were illustrated by her sister, Dora Noyes, an artist who exhibited at the Royal Academy.
