If you had been waiting for some jokes about Essex Girls you might have been disappointed but my guest today, Karen Bowman who after many years of painstaking investigation and research, has published two books about some amazing people who hailed from, or had strong connections with our county. Women like radical reformer, Elizabeth Fry, Mary Boleyn (sister of Ann) and Boudicca and men like Daniel Defoe and Dick Turpin.
Listen again here to what Karen had to say on this subject: – Karen Bowman 14th September
Hopefully your appetite to learn more will have been whetted. If so both books – ESSEX GIRLS and ESSEX BOYS are available from WATERSTONES and AMAZON and of course, all good bookshops. Alternatively you can oder direct from Karen’s website – www.karenbowman.co.uk. The price for each book is £12.99 or £14.99 for autographed copies.
