Victoria Holt Books

I remember reading Victoria Holt a lot, during my school days, and easily forgot about her. Until recently while updating my list of read books, that I remembered about the books i hardly remembered about, and began a search of an author I hardly knew and remembered the name. What remained as a memory were few vague titles and and the frustration over nothing coming out of the Google search engine.



Finally I found all about it...!!!! :)

Victoria Holt... aka ... Eleanor Hibbert or should I say it the other way round.. anyways. Eleanor Hibbert was an author who wrote many genres and that too under different Pen names. A new name for new Genres and also kept shifting them though decades. I found this really fascinating about her, and I would also agree that her work too fascinated me strongly.
