Enid Dinnis (1873-1942) was born in London, the daughter of an Anglican Vicar in Stepney. She was educated at a Belgian convent and converted to Catholicism, after which she joined a 'hidden' religious congregation, the Daughters of the Heart of Mary. Dinnis moved widely in the London literary world before and during the wars. She wrote copiously in prose and verse, finding a distinctive Catholic voice and devising a particular style that combined Catholic mysticism and miracle with fairy tales and ordinary contemporary life. She was for the last decades of her life Mother Superior of the DHM house in Wimbledon.
