A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

It use to be said, you could recognise a Yorkshire person by the way they crunched a boiled sweet! Gwen Hullah (maiden name) was born in the West Riding of Yorkshire. Educated at Braithwaite School, Dacre and Pateley Bridge Secondary Modern, Nidderdale. By tradition in those days, farmers' daughters became home-land-girls wherein horse-power ruled - as the saying goes - 'Shake a bridle over a Yorkshire man's grave and he'll rise up and steal your horse'. Gwen was married for 28 years - resided in Grantham, Lincolnshire for most of those years. She became a free-lance writer, amidst other chance jobs - the instigator of Radio Witham, Grantham Hospital Broadcasting Service. Gwen has one daughter, Ida, who is a musician, singer/songwriter/guitarist and author; whom she is very proud of. They now live back home in Yorkshire.
