Mike Dixon asked Susan Appleyard:

This Sun of York contains some vivid descriptions of the English countryside. You now live in Canada. Are these childhood memories? The eyes of a child can be more penetrating than those of an adult … less clogged by experience.

Susan Appleyard Hello Mike, sorry for the delay in answering your question. I lived in England until I was in my mid-twenties and visit there every five years or so. So I do get the opportunity to visit places that I describe in my books like Ludlow and Warwick Castles. But when describing, for example, a market square in Hereford during an execution, I have to use my imagination. Thanks for your question.
