was an anthology, Childhood (1988), enriched by her knowledge of 19th-century children's literature, of which she had an exceptional collection. This was followed by My Dear Cassandra (1990), an account of Jane Austen's relationship with her sister; and At Home in Grasmere (1993), about Wordsworth and his circle.
As Penelope Hughes-Hallett's writing developed, so did her other public roles. She was a trustee of the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation (set up by her uncle), and pressed consistently for funds to be made available for literary and educational causes.
