About the Author:
Sylvia Fisher was born in London. She left school at the age of fourteen and redressed the balance in the traditional way, with the help of the Greater London Council and the Workers Educational Association. Early occupations were inevitably varied and numerous, but in due course, culminated in two long spells in the Electronics and Telecommunications industries in London, and in East Anglia where she now lives. In recent years there has been more time available to give expression to a long held desire to tell a story.
