Dewhurst, Judith: - Judith Dewhurst was born and brought up in a small town in the Northwest of England, where she still lives with her husband. She has three daughters and three grandsons. A part-time career working in pre-school playgroups helped to develop a love of rhyming and of picture books, creating a desire to write a book of her own. Now retired, she has had the time and leisure to do this-better late than never! A Midsummer Tale is her first book.
