Entertaining stories which Jameson describes as 'easy to pick up and more tantalising for one's bedside table than a novel'.

This selection of Winifred Holtby's short stories is drawn from her two volumes, 'Truth is not Sober' and 'Pavements of Anderby', published two years after her death. The stories are irreverent and many are autobiographically based, focusing on the Yorkshire farming community.

Winifred Holtby was born in 1893 in the East Riding of Yorkshire. She was educated at Scarborough College, Oxford and gave up her studies to join the Women’s Auxiliary Army Corps in France during the First World War. Later she became an ardent feminist and lecturer on politics and was a prolific contributor to many newspapers. Her last and best-known novel was 'South Riding', which was finished shortly before her early death in 1935.

Susan Jameson trained at the Birmingham School of Speech and Drama and has since gone on to appear on stage in David Storey’s 'In Celebration', 'A Fool and His Money' and 'Talking Heads: Bed Among the Lentils'. On television she has been seen in 'New Tricks', 'Rescue Me', 'A&E' and 'Heartbeat'.
