About the Author
With her imagination fed by WalterÕs bedtime stories, Helen became an advertising copywriter in London before Tom, a wild Irishman, whisked her off to Spain where they played bad golf and enjoyed life. Writing and NADFAS (The Arts Society) became a lifeline when Tom died. She now shares her life with a local cat who is no good at fostering her ambition to understand the language well enough to get to the end of all the books sheÕd love to read in the original Spanish.
