	Edith Pargeter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Edith Mary Pargeter, BEM (September 28, 1913–October 14, 1995) was a prolific British author of works in many categories, especially history andhistorical fiction, and was also honoured for her translations of Czech classics; she is probably best known for her murder mysteries, both historical and modern.
		Born in the village of Horsehay (Shropshire, England), she had Welsh ancestry, and many of her short stories and books (both fictional and non-fictional) were set in Wales and its borderlands.
		Pargeter wrote under a number of pseudonyms; it was under the name Ellis Peters that she wrote the highly popular series of Brother Cadfael medieval mysteries, many of which were made into films for television.

		Edith enjoyed writing from a young age and had her first novel published in 1936.
		After the war, Edith's many visits to Czechoslovakia encouraged her to learn the Czech language and translate many of the country's great works of literature.
		Having re-read the true story of Shrewsbury Abbey's acquisition of the bones of St. Winifred, Edith was struck with the idea that it would make a marvellous backdrop for a murder mystery and the sleuthing herbalist was born.

	Edith Pargeter
		Edith, in fact, shared much more of her very private life with us than perhaps she realized.
		Perhaps most important, we came to share her love of history: to understand how people throughout the ages are fundamentally the same, and to realize that we are today because of what we did yesterday.
		Edith had a healthy short story career in women's magazines in England, but did not keep records, and the stories are difficult to trace.
