About the author

John Harry Robert Timpson OBE was a British journalist, best known as a radio presenter.

His experiences in broadcasting provided Timpson with material for several books: "Today and Yesterday" (1976), "The Lighter Side of Today" (1983) and "The Early Morning Book" (1986). After his retirement from the BBC he returned to Norfolk and continued writing, especially about England and East Anglia in particular. These included a novel "Paper Trail" published in 1989 and two works on the quirks and oddities of English life - "Timpson's England" (1987) and "Timpson's Towns" (1989). Subsequent books included "Timpson’s English Villages" (1992), "Timpson’s Other England (1993)", "Timpson’s English Country Inns" (1995) and "Timpson on the Verge" (2002).

In 1987 he was awarded an OBE for his services to broadcasting.

You can say: short and easy. It is only partially true. It is short. But it isn’t at all easy. The society problem with attachment is more and more important every year.

Easy to find book (ask on Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury) get one (or five) and read. And maybe you will help your child. And yourself.

A good basic understanding of attachment theory. Would be good for use with children or survivors of this kind of trauma to understand.

great books to help children with attachment problems and for them to understand that people care and are there to help.
