About the author

Barbara Taylor Bradford was a British-American novelist whose dramatic family sagas and stories of ambitious women made her one of the most commercially successful authors of modern popular fiction. Raised in Leeds, she developed an early love of reading and decided as a child that she would become a writer. After leaving school at sixteen, she began her career in journalism, first working in the typing pool of the Yorkshire Evening Post before becoming a reporter. In her early twenties she moved to London, where she built a successful career as a fashion editor for Woman's Own magazine and later wrote widely syndicated newspaper columns. Although she experimented with suspense fiction, her breakthrough came with the novel A Woman of Substance in 1979, a sweeping story of a determined young woman rising from poverty to great success. The novel became an international bestseller and launched a long series of novels featuring strong female protagonists who achieve success through perseverance, ambition, and business skill. Over the following decades she wrote forty novels translated into dozens of languages and sold in tens of millions of copies worldwide. Several of her books were adapted for television miniseries and films, further expanding her readership. Her work earned numerous honors, including appointment as an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in recognition of her contribution to literature.

Great Children's stories. Okay, a bit far-fetched. But I honestly just liked the bright pictures!
We were not a "Fixture at Sunday Mass" Irish Catholic family. .... More like a "Wow You're here at Sunday Mass!" kind of Irish family. I just try not to burst into flames whenever I pass a church now! LOL

Loved going back & reading this book that I had as a child. Sometimes things seem much easier to understand at this level.

I saw this book today at a thrift store. As soon as I saw the illustrations on the front cover, the memory of this book slammed right into me.

When I was a kid, this book was always around the house. I looked through it and read stories from it many times. Maybe my parents even read stories from it to me. We were Catholics, so reading the Bible wasn't all that important to us. Probably most of the Bible story knowledge I did have came from this book. In any case, I remember the color illustrations much better than I remember the writing.
