Diana Pullein-Thompson
(born 1 October 1925) [2] and
Christine Pullein-Thompson

They started at a very young age (initially writing collectively) and they were at their peak in the 1950s and 1960s, but their popularity has endured. They have written a collective autobiography Fair Girls and Grey Horses.
All 3 sisters have written at least 1 book under a different name; Josephine wrote 1 under the pseudonym of

Diana Farr
and Christine wrote 2 books under the name of Christine Keir.
Their mother,
Joanna Cannan
(1898–1961), sister of the poet
