Louise
Published by Sentinel Publications, 1947
This book was originally printed under the pseudonym Mary Nethercot, her first married
name. Williams' full maiden name was Winifred Mary Harvey, although she always went by the
name Mary. After her first marriage to Gerald Nethercot was dissolved, she married again,
to Bill Williams. By the time he passed away, Williams had become a successful and
prolific writer of novels and short stories. The "Mary Williams" byline was, at
this point, well established, and therefore kept for the remainder of her published
career, even after she married for a third time, to Mike Lewis. The publisher William
Kimber reprinted Louise in 1981, as by Mary Williams.
