While a young schoolgirl, SHIRLEY HARRISON first broadcast on BBC's Children's Hour. She has worked as a freelance journalist and authored many nonfiction books. After moving to Sussex, she started one of the first preschool playgroups in the U.K. in Winnie-the-Pooh's very own hometown. Harrison interviewed Mrs. Milne for a magazine article about the toy bear and was inspired to tell the bear's true-life story.-Barnes and Noble
Because of her inexhaustible curiosity, at the age of 82, Shirley’s professional life has covered a colourful range of subjects that have caught her imagination including Father Christmas, cider, Winnie the Pooh, King James II’s best loved brothel in Paris Gardens, Southwark, and Suffragette Sylvia Pankhurst resulting in her biography: Sylvia Pankhurst: The Rebellious Suffragette.-Sapere Books
