ebook To Be a Lady Story of Catherine Cookson eBook Cliff Goodwin DYG
To Be A Lady is the first biography of one of Britain's best-selling and best loved writers.
It is a fascinating study of determination and courage, pain and triumph over tragedy.
From the beginning of her life in a crowded terrace in Tyneside to her days as a best-selling writer able to offer thousands to charity as a Dame of the British Empire, Catherine Cookson’s own story is as extraordinary as any of her novels.
It is hard to think of any writer, living or dead, who has produced — and continued to produce — such overwhelmingly popular fiction as Catherine Cookson.
Between June, 1950, and the end of 1993, ninety million copies of her novels, children’s books and personal recollections had been sold worldwide. An average of 5,800 every day — 241 books every single hour.
Cookson novels have been adapted into award winning television films. Musicals and plays based on her books have sold out within days and ran for weeks.
Goodwin explores the intriguing, and at times distressing, life of the celebrated writer, Catherine Cookson and the novels that were inspired by her early experiences in Tyneside.
