Hilda Winifred Lewis (nee Maizels, 1896–1974) was a British writer of historical and children's fiction.
[1] Her father, Joseph Maizels, was a Jewish jeweller and silversmith who had immigrated to England from Kalisz, Poland;[2] he married her mother, Deborah Lipman, in London in 1893.
[5] She also wrote a noted children's book, The Ship that Flew (1939) which concerns Norse mythology and time travel.
The novel in turn was inspired by the work of her husband Professor M. Michael Lewis who was a specialist in the education of the deaf at the University of Nottingham.
Four of her young adult novels, Harold Was My King, Here Comes Harry, The Ship That Flew and The Gentle Falcon are available as ebooks from Beebliome Books.
