That’s Josephine Baker (Zouzou, 1934); Jiminy Cricket (the cricket in the original story gets stomped by Pinocchio) and Jewel. Not that that helps me think of who this might be. ---

Prof P mentioned writers in post 173, but no one ever got around to asking if I were one. Would it have helped if I had said yes? At any rate, I am Austrian\* writer **Joy Adamson**. - Troppau, where she was born, is now in the Czech Republic, but in 1910 it was part of the Austrian Empire and her family were ethnic Germans, not Czechs.
