Those in search of an unusual present will have the opportunity to buy a
personally signed book during the run-up to Christmas. Local author Liz
Shakespeare, who has become well-known in the South-West as an author who
brings to life the people, history and landscapes of Devon, will be signing
copies of her books at several different venues.
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. 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.
She is currently working on a novel
based on the life of the Bideford Postman-Poet Edward Capern.
Liz will be signing copies of her four books at the following venues:
- Bude Castle Christmas Fair on Sunday 29th November
- Ruby Country Market at Hatherleigh on Saturday December 5th
- South Molton Fatstock Show on Sunday December 6th
- Big Sheep Craft Market on December 12th, 19th and 23rd
- Hartland Farmers' Market on Sunday December 20th
