Anyone in search of an original Christmas present should go along to the Ruby Country Market on Saturday 6th or South Molton Christmas Show on Sunday 7th where they will have the opportunity to buy signed copies of books with local settings. The
name of Liz Shakespeare has become well-known in the South-West as an
author who brings to life the people and landscapes of Devon. Liz was
born and brought up in Bideford and has a long Devon ancestry which she
feels has given her a good understanding of Devon and its people. Her
most recent book, All Around The Year, is a collection of twelve
poignant stories, deeply rooted in the Devon countryside, and each
linked to a month of the year from January through to December. For each
story, she has created a character whose life is influenced by the
landscape around them. She relied on historical research for inspiration for her previous books, The Turning of the Tide, a true story of a young Clovelly mother confined in Bideford Workhouse, Fever: A Story from a Devon Churchyard, and The Memory Be Green: An Oral History of a Devon Village.
Saturday Dec 6th from 9am-2pm
