This well-loved copy of “The Lord and Mary Ann” by the renowned British author Catherine Cookson offers a captivating glimpse into the harsh realities of working-class life in early 20th-century England. Cookson, born in 1906 to an impoverished family in East Tyneside, drew inspiration from her own experiences, crafting vivid and authentic depictions of the struggles faced by the underprivileged. Through her unflinching yet compassionate lens, she shines a light on the resilience and dignity of ordinary people navigating a world rife with social injustice and economic hardship.

Cookson’s work has been celebrated for its rich character development, evocative prose, and unflinching exploration of themes such as class divides, gender roles, and the enduring human spirit. This well-preserved copy invites readers to immerse themselves in Cookson’s compelling narrative and gain a deeper understanding of a pivotal era in British history.
