Publication date: 1997
Size: 142 pages 145 x 220mm
format: hardback

A gentle and enjoyable account of Dorothy Rose’s life, from her Lincolnshire childhood, at Kirkby-on-Bain, near Horncastle, to the joys and tragedies of her Leicestershire smallholding at Rothley. The book began as an extraordinary series of letters to soldiers, sailors and airmen during the Gulf War. Recalling wartime memories, she wanted to reach out to these servicemen and women with human warmth. Describing the people, places and events that moulded her life, these letters became a charming account of English country life. Royalties from the book benefit four medical charities, including the Multiple Sclerosis Society and Moorfields Eye Hospital, London.
