Plainer Still

Following the success of Let Me Make Myself Plain, Catherine Cookson offers a further selection of thoughts, recollections, and observations on life, together with more of the poems she prefers to describe as "prose on short lines." She reveals some of the qualities that allow her to continue the battle of life—a life that has, for the last 50 years, given readers pleasure through the medium of her novels, each inspired by the harsh nature of her early years.
