Her publishers don't seem to exist any more! Thanks |

There's an old thread here that may give you a contact to ask. My friend Lionel is still playing but they're not on the net and snail mail from and to NZ is rather slow. I don't know if that phone number would help - if he lives in Alton and Iona lived there too, I'm sure their paths would have crossed. I can't see any obit on the net. Robyn |

If you would like to send over your phone number and details of the request, I'll print off and pass on to Robert who can pass the request on to Mrs Opie. Please include phone numbers as neither uses email. anna@museumofbrands.com thanks |
