Jack

Autor Frank English
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 sep 2016
A tale loosely based in reality, this story traces the fortunes of the Ingles family in the West Riding coal fields. In this second volume, Jack’s cosy, happy and well-planned existence is shaken by several devastating events from which he can foresee no recovery. His chosen path into adult life becomes all the more difficult because of it, and makes him realise how hard it can be to make the right decisions. The decisions he does make have far-reaching ramifications for him and for those around him.

Notă biografică

Born in 1946 in the West Riding of Yorkshire's coal fields around Wakefield, he attended grammar school, where he enjoyed sport rather more than academic work. After three years at teacher training college in Leeds, he became a teacher in 1967. He spent a lot of time during his teaching career entertaining children of all ages, a large part of which was through telling stories, and encouraging them to escape into a world of imagination and wonder. Some of his most disturbed youngsters he found to be very talented poets, for example. He has always had a wicked sense of humour, which has blossomed only during the time he has spent with his wife, Denise. This sense of humour also allowed many youngsters to survive often difficult and brutalising home environments.In 2006, he retired after forty years working in schools with young people who had significantly disrupted lives because of behaviour disorders and poor social adjustment, generally brought about through circumstances beyond their control. At the same time as moving from leafy lane suburban middle-class school teaching in Leeds to residential schooling for emotional and behavioural disturbance in the early 1990s, changed family circumstance provided the spur to achieve ambitions. Supported by his wife, Denise, he achieved a Master's degree in his mid-forties and a PhD at the age of fifty-six, because he had always wanted to do so.Now enjoying glorious retirement, he spends as much time as life will allow writing, reading and travelling.
