Mary Victoria Cowden- Clarke was
born in 1909, on June %, the eldest of
eleven talented children. Her father,
Vincenzo Novello, was the son of an
Italian father and an English mother.
Her mother, Mary Sabilla He'll, was
the daughter of a German father and
an Irish mother
The youth of Mary Novello was
spent in a most interesting house
hold. Her father was a famous or
genist, and Dickens, Leigh Hunt,
Charles and Mary Lamb and many
men and women famous in literary
and artistic circles frequented his
home.
Marys brothers and sisters were all
talented but the most famous of
them was Clara, the famous soprano
singer Mary herself turned to- liter
allure for a vocation. When she was
nineteen she began Complete Con-
cofdance to Shakespeare. on which
she worked steadily and faithfully for
nineteen years before it was COM
pleted.
One of the best friends of the Novel;
10 family was Monsignor Victor
Fryer, chaplain to the Portuguese
embassy in London, where. Mary's
father was organist for many years.
This good man was godfather to all
the little NoVellos-so says Clara in
her memoirs-and the Victoria in
Marys name was given in his honor.
Mrs. Novello, Mary's mother, was a
