In recent years publishers have rediscovered great authors of the
past & brought their books back into print. The success of Philippa
Gregory's novels of the Tudors has led to novels by Jean Plaidy,
Margaret Campbell Barnes & M M Kaye returning to the shelves in
beautiful new covers. Georgette Heyer has never been out of print but
her novels have recently been reissued again & a new biography by
Jennifer Kloester has just been published. Winifred Holtby's South
Riding has been made into a TV series (coming to your library soon)
& more of her novels have been reprinted. Winifred's great friend,
Vera Brittain, wrote a moving memoir of WWI, Testament of Youth, &
the 1980 TV series based on the book has just been released on DVD.

also promoted forthcoming talks by Maggie Millar on Elizabeth Jolley
& Jessica Rudd about her new book.
