About the author

Liz Shakespeare was born in Devon and returned there after spending seven years in London, where she obtained an honours degree in English and trained as a teacher. Her mother's family are from Devon and the family stories she grew up with and the sense of being deeply rooted in the area have, she feels, influenced her writing.
She draws her inspiration from the North Devon countryside, from the strong historical identity of the area and the sense of past lives that can be experienced in any long-inhabited area. She is interested in social history and particularly in the lives of the less advantaged.
