Even as a child Barbara was beautiful, but as her beauty grew, so did the affliction which shadowed it—she was becoming deafer and deafer. Yet living in her silent world, she was protected from the knowledge which might otherwise have destroyed her—the secret of her own origins.

Dame Catherine Ann Cookson, DBE (1906 – 1998) was a British author. She is in the top 20 of most widely read British novelists with sales topping 100 million while retaining a relatively low profile in the world of celebrity writers. Her books were inspired by her deprived youth in South Tyneside, North East England, the setting for her novels. With more than 103 titles written in her own name or two other pen-names, she was one of the most prolific British novelists.

Very Good: Describes a book that shows some small signs of wear - but no tears - on either binding or paper. Any defects should be noted by the seller.

Good: Describes the average used book that has all pages or leaves present. Any defects should be noted by the seller.

Fair: Worn book that has complete text pages (including those with maps or plates) but may lack endpapers, half-title, etc. Binding, jacket (if any), etc., may also be worn. All defects should be noted.
