Haus featured Author

At eighty-seven years of age, Patricia Mowbray is the honourable veteran of  Haus Publishing’s author list. Her first book, the newly published biography, Florence Nightingale and the Viceroys, is the result of four years of hard work and research.
Patricia was born in New Zealand and came to London in the 1950s. One of her earliest experiences in the city was attending a speech, given by Sir Winston Churchill at a school in north London. Afterwards she was introduced to and took tea with the great man and his wife Clementine.
She worked for many years with Eugene Rosenberg, one of the architects of the new St Thomas’ Hospital in London, and went on to act as the co-ordinator for the Florence Nightingale Museum which opened close by the hospital in 1989.
Her passion and depth of knowledge of Florence Nightingale’s life was acquired during these years. She is now retired and lives in Richmond, Surrey.
