Smith Settle Editions

From 1988, Smith Settle Publishers of Otley began to re-issue the books of Marie Hartley, Ella Pontefract and Joan Ingilby, by then out of print. Since Dents their former publishers had been taken over, all their copyrights had reverted to Marie and Joan, who now had the pleasure of seeing their work in print, on sale and eagerly purchased by a new generation of readers.

Contributions to the Dalesman

When the Yorkshire Dalesman (its original title) was founded by Harry Scott in 1939, Ella, Marie and Joan all contributed to its early numbers and helped to establish it securely.
