Daisy Ashford
DA
's juvenile novella The Young Visiters (written in 1890, when she was just nine years old) was published by Chatto and Windus
in London, with a preface by J. M. Barrie
(author of Peter Pan).
She deposited a hundred-poem cycle, Conversations with a Prince, with Chatto
in 1963, to ensure its survival; she asked for it back in 1989, perhaps because she no longer saw herself as a poet.
