À propos de l?auteur

Joseph Delaney is an English teacher living in Lancashire. He has three children and six grandchildren and is a wonderful public speaker available for conference, library and bookshop events. His home is in the middle of Boggart territory and his village has a boggart called The Hall Knocker, which was laid to rest under the step of a house near the church.

He has three children and six grandchildren and is a wonderful public speaker available for conference, library and bookshop events. His home is in the middle of
