Sheila Pim (21 September 1909–16 December 1995), was an Irish crime novelist and horticulturalist.
[1] Sheila Pim was born in September 1909 to a Quaker father and English mother in Ireland.
Pim then went on to Girton College, Cambridge to study modern languages, intending to graduate with a degree in French and Italian.
Her mother's ill heath, and death in 1940, caused her to return to Ireland to look after her and she remained taking care of her father, who died in 1958, and an older incapacitated brother, Tom.
She dedicated her time to the Friends Historical Society and was particularly interested in helping out in the traveller community.
