Looking at inscriptions I became fascinated with trying to find out more about Sister Agnes and whether she may have known Ernst. Spending a day trying to track down information about her I found 4 small articles, three in the recently digitised Healesville and Yarra Glen Guardian. Fairy Tales told in the Bush was published in1911. What is interesting is that she writes under her ordained name of Sister Agnes. Sister Agnes was the Superintendent of the
Diocesan Mission to the Streets and Lanes of Melbourne, and also Superintendent
of St. Mark's Mothers' Union, Fitzroy. "Fairy Tales told in the Bush," was pronounced as the 'ideal gift book for children' and was 'well illustrated' . Interestingly, it was published in London, and the proceeds of the
sale went to Sister Agnes' city mission work. In a very 'Melbourne' touch her book is a Friday Night Special at Myers - discounted from 2 shillings to 1 and 6 pence (Display Advertising. 1918, September 13,The Argus, p. 8) until 9.30. Was she influenced by Ernst to write her book. Sister Agnes, gave a history of the sisters' work from the little
shop in Little Lonsdale street to the House of Mercy at Cheltenham mentioning the children's home in Brighton at the Healesville Flower Show (1925, May 2, Healesville
and Yarra Glen Guardian.
