STILL suffering from bomb splinter wounds in the head, Countess Zajdlerowa, whose novels, written under the name of Martin Hare, are known to thousands of British readers, described recently her nightmare journey to safety from tragic Warsaw.

"I had finished my latest book, Polanais,' on the day of the Polish mobilisation," she said.
"I sent the manuscript to London on the same day.
"After five days of terrible bombardment in Warsaw, I decided on 'September 6 to leave the city and spend a day at a
