Publisher's Synopsis
Documentary focusing on the life and works of the popular author. When it comes to inspirational landscapes there are few that can compare with the dramatic locations of the North East of England, as immortalised in Cookson's novels. In fact, the tales of Tilly Trotter, Kate Hannigan and the Mallens, to name a few, are all based on the author's own experiences of growing up in South Shields, and Catherine Cookson's life story is arguably just as remarkable as any of her great novels.
