Aylmer Hall

Aylmer Hall was the pen name of Norah Eleanor Lyle Cummins[1] (born 24 April 1914).

[5] The Daily Herald in Chicago wrote that The Search for Lancelot's Sword (1960) is a "well told mystery story.

"[6] Kirkus Reviews wrote that her book about 1765 Ireland, Beware of Moonlight (1970) to have stereotyped characters and was "rambling, complicated and filled with hackneyed class-conscious poses.

"[7] Myles McDowell puts many of Hall's books into the "Boys' Own" era, and writes that these can seem dated to modern readers.

[4] Hall wrote ten books, most of them historical adventures, though some had contemporary settings.
