Helen Mary Wilson (1869-1957) was a major figure in the Women's Division of the New Zealand Farmers' Union. She got home education as her mother faced financial difficulties and had to teach her on her own. In the result Helen Mary was brought up with the interest in social life and literature which resulted in her writing career in the later days.


'It Was All Those Horrid Bellows!' Is a short story by H. Mary Wilson that represents a bright example of her writing style featuring orientation on social life and human feelings, often with touching endings.
