Born into the industrial slums of Birmingham in 1903, Kathleen Dayus has become a legend in her own time. Her four highly acclaimed books of autobiography, brought together here in one volume, are a testament to the indomitable spirit, humour and verve that characterise her life. In HER PEOPLE she vividly recalls the story of her Edwardian childhood, growing up in the slums. WHERE THERE'S LIFE and ALL MY DAYS continue her story through adolescence, as a young munitions worker during the First World War, marriage and life below the poverty line in the 1920s. Early widowhood and the Depression force her to relinquish her children to Dr Barnardo's homes until, eight long years later, she can provide a home for them again. In THE BEST OF TIMES Kathleen Dayus once more brings to life the people and places her readers have come to know so well. Her extraordinary memory for the sights, sounds and smells of her youth, her marvellous sense of the comic and above all her spirited refusal to do anything but live life to the full, deservedly make her one of the most compelling storytellers of our time.
