>R. A(loysius) Eric Shepherd (1892-1955) was the son of Dr Ambrose Shepherd, a famous Free Church preacher. He was educated at Glasgow Academy and Christ Church College, Oxford. He was received into Catholicism while still at Oxford in the Church of St Aloysius - hence his adoption of this name. He was Professor of English Literature at the University of Malta for several years in the 1920s but did not like life abroad so returned home. In the '30s he was teaching in the Convent of the Sacred Heart in Roehampton. >He published several books of poetry and also *Malta and Me*, a memoir which caused some controversy amongst his fellow Catholics. His *Murder in a Nunnery* was selected by the Catholic Book Club in 1940 and reprinted in England and America. It was subsequently adapted into a play. Shepherd knew about nunnery life as both his sisters were nuns, one of them being a Mother Superior.
