During this period she gained an external teaching diploma for Speech and Drama, and the War found her as a teacher and secretary at the Froebelian School in Rhos. There she learnt about Froebelian Kindergarten theories (now universally adopted) and these inspired her to write her own scripts for certain lessons, which led eventually to stories and plays being broadcast regularly on Children's Hour, Listen With Mother and Schools programmes, and appearing in School Readers, Child Education and annuals. Meanwhile she formed her own School of Speech and Drama which continued till her Mother became frail and in need of more attention; so she decided to aim for a degree through a Correspondence Course.

Pictorial Dust Jacket designed by E Meirion Roberts is slightly chipped to edges This is the second book by Huw T Edwards.
