Fellow writes her family story & has her Emily Tennyson biography reissued

Dr Ann Thwaite's Fellowship took her, in 1993, to the USA to visit libraries with Tennyson collections and to Italy to follow the Tennyson's journeys there. The result of her research was Emily Tennyson: The Poet's Wife, published by Faber. Last year, to mark the 200th anniversary of Tennyson's birth, Faber Finds reissued Ann's biography of his wife.  In the same year, Anne finally turned her attention to her own family story, having already written about the Hodgsons and Burnetts, the Gosses, the Milnes and, of course, the Tennysons. Her book Passageways - the story of a New Zealand family, was published by Otago University Press but is available in the UK through Gazelle Books on sales@gazellebooks.co.uk or from Amazon.
