註釋"It is intriguing to consider whether Leonard Woolf's decision to forge a career in the Colonial Service in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) from 1904-11 had a bigger impact on his life or on that of his sister Bella. She visited her brother in Ceylon and there met both her husbands (she was widowed twice). Bella Woolf was already an established children's writer. Among her best remembered books are The Twins in Ceylon and Further Adventures of the Twins in Ceylon. She also wrote two volumes of essays on Ceylon for adults, as well as the first guide book in English on that country. This monograph examines the largely unexplored relationship between Leonard and Bella Woolf, focusing on their connections with Ceylon. An illuminating appendix discusses Bella's relationship with her sister-in-law Virginia Woolf. The work has been enhanced by access to Bella Woolf's unpublished papers, made available by Leonard and Bella's nephew Cecil Woolf, who has also contributed an introduction." --
