In between those two splashes of publicity, Gloria Metzner adopted the stage name Gloria Dea, made history in Las Vegas, had a few tabloid-ish moments in a brief film career, faded into obscurity for a half-century or so, and then, in her final years, was rediscovered and celebrated by her fellow magicians. “Anything with sleight-of-hand and billiard balls I liked,” she said almost a century later, in a 2022 interview with KVVU-TV of Las Vegas on the occasion of her 100th birthday.

Of course, she acknowledges there are times we must defend ourselves (as seen in this story with the Mulberry couple) and our planet. In this case: Becoming Mrs Mulberry portrays the destruction caused by war (external and internal). She writes to help us not forget ‘the hardship and unhappiness of those around us’ and to learn from ‘past experience’. Also, her abundant knowledge of Australia’s fascinating history and her obvious understanding of human and animal behaviour are aptly applied in her story’s content and character constructions. Her passion and experience with native animals mean these delightful creatures will often burrow their way into her original plots.
