I can almost now say that Mary Carr needs no introduction. This is largely due to Stephen Knight’s amazing Disney+ show called A Thousand Blows. Series 1 is out now and Series 2 is coming very soon indeed. But Emma Woodhouse has been studying the life of Mary in detail since 2021 and has a novelised account of her life out now. In 2026 she will publish a nonfiction book about Mary with Pen & Sword.
The main painting we think is Mary Carr is Frederic Leighton’s The Maid with the Golden Hair.
Emma’s novelised account of Mary is out now, and FREE on Kindle Unlimited.
