A Yorkshire Lass: The Early Years

Farm girl Elizabeth Isle’s childhood is fairly idyllic, set in the beautiful countryside of Yorkshire, England, but before long the Second World War breaks out. Now she must become accustomed to the terror of hiding under the stairs when a bomb siren goes off, the hardship of food rationing, and soldiers trying to steal the family car or falling asleep at the wheel, smashing the farm trailer to smithereens in the process. When war is over a relieved Elizabeth goes to boarding school and thereafter settles into a mundane career. Little does she know that once the war ends, her spirit for adventure will bring about a very different sort of excitement.

A Yorkshire Lass: The Early Years is the prequel to Kookaburras, Cuppas & Kangaroos: A Yorkshire Lass Down Under in the '60s.
