Lincolnshire is more than spud and mud. Here are many accounts of people’s lives as they grew up in Lincolnshire, from working out of the greatest fishing port in the world (Out of Grimsby) to the steel works (Scunthorpe – Crimson Skies); from the first person to have been given the title ‘cat-burglar’ (Delaney) to the Spinning Lady’s life (Larks in the Lincolnshire Marshes). Some titles cover powerful stories of overcoming or accepting enormous social and physical barriers such as ‘From Plough to College’, ‘From the Fens to Westminster’ and ‘I Didn’t Have Cancer for Nothing’. There is also a delightful recount of the Everton family history in the ‘Little Will’ trilogy by Peter Gaston. The complete trilogy is now available through this website – or through any good bookshop Vol I ‘Little Will and Clink Carrot’, Vol II ‘For Better For Worse’ and Vol III ‘Old Men’s Dreams, Young Men’s Visions’. Until Valentine’s day there is a special offer on this trilogy to promote the publication of Little Will in paperback – please search for ‘Little Will Trilogy’ in the search bar.
