    Christianna Brand

    Christianna Brand (December 17, 1907 - March 11, 1988) was a crime writer and childrens author. Brand also wrote under the pseudonyms , , Mary Roland, and China Thomson.

    She was born Mary Christianna Milne in 1907 in Malaya and spent her early years in India. She had a number of different occupations, including model, dancer, shop assistant and governess.

    Her first novel, Death in High Heels, was written while Brand was working as a salesgirl. In 1941, one of her best-loved characters, Inspector Cockrill of the Kent County Police, made his debut in the book Heads You Lose. The character would go on to appear in seven of her novels. Green for Danger is Brand’s most famous novel. The whodunit, set in a World War 2 hospital, was adapted for film by Eagle-Lion Films in 1946, starring Alastair Sim as the Inspector. She dropped the series in the late 1950s and concentrated on various genres as well as short stories. She was nominated three times for Edgar Awards: for the short stories Poison in the Cup (EQMM, Feb. 1969) and Twist for Twist (EQMM, May 1967) and for a nonfiction work about a Scottish murder case, Heaven Knows Who (1960). She is the author of the childrens series Nurse Matilda, which Emma Thompson adapted to film as Nanny McPhee (2005).

    Her Inspector Cockrill short stories and a previously unpublished Cockrill stage play were collected as The Spotted Cat and Other Mysteries from inspector Cockrills Casebook, edited by Tony Medawar (2002).
