Elizabeth Greenwood studied sculpture at St. Martin's School of
Art, and in Florence and Rome. She had a classical education,
preferring Greek to Latin for the richness of its vocabulary and
her sculpture with its reference to Greek mythology reflects this
predilection; she is also a dedicated writer. Apart from poetry,
she enjoys producing emblematic fiction based on Mary Poppins'
philosophical song 'a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go
down', thus fulfilling the writer's task as entertainer cum
moralist, Both creative activities date from early childhood.
Although they were largely ignored, she was fortunate in having
been born into a family where close relatives had universal minds,
uniting a passion for Literature with a keen interest in Politics,
the Cinema and Science, especially Space Science. Officially, she
began her writing career by producing educational scripts for the
BBC World Wide Services which taught her the invaluable benefit of
dedicated researching. In later years, to counteract a tendency to
create works of the imagination, she has applied herself to the
discipline of academic work in the field of biblical studies with
particular regard to the Dead Sea discoveries, now well-documented,
which give insights into the rise of Christianity. Her particular
interest in Sherlock Holmes as an innovative detective relates to
his having been born in America in a play on Broadway where it was
an immediate success, with a famous actor in the lead while Conan
Doyle, the British creator of Sherlock Holmes, was serving with the
Friends' Ambulance Service as a volunteer front-line surgeon during
the Boer war in South Africa.
