‘The Amazing Mary Higgs’

                   By local author Carol M Talbot

The recently launched novel about the life of Mary Higgs has been a resounding success for Oldham Writing Cafe member Carol Talbot. Following the well attended launch interest in the book and author has seen the first edition print sold out.  Recognition for Carol as the storyteller is well justified and includes interviews on local radio and newspaper write-ups. Fellow members of the Oldham Writing Cafe are very proud of Carol and her portrayal of this amazing woman.

THE SECOND EDITION PRINT IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE. 

The Amazing Mary Higgs

Student, Pioneer, wife and mother, undercover tramp and social reformer.

An extraordinary story of an ordinary woman, born 1854, told mainly through the eyes of Annie, the friend who joined her on many undercover investigations to get first hand experience of the conditions in tramp wards and common lodging houses.

It would seem remarkable in the twenty first century for any one woman to achieve so much, but the fact that she was a product of the Victorian era with its moral and social constraints makes her life’s work all the more remarkable.
