Clare WATERS

Clare WATERS
Mrs COLLAS

A FORBES SCHOOL student (1907) who introduced Alfred MUNNINGS to Cornwall in the first instance (in 1908), she was especially friendly with the girls lodging at Myrtle Cottage (the 'Myrtage') in Newlyn. When she wrote 'a real story', A Penny for the Guy, published in 1945, it was Dod Shaw PROCTER, one of the Myrtage set, who illustrated it for her.
