The gambling man

by Catherine Cookson . I’m now 75 years old and when I was 35 i had a young family ( hardly time to read ) but I used to go to our local library in wallington to get books for my mum . She was completely deaf but loved to read books by Catherine Cookson . Of course I had to read the inside cover to see if I had got it out before , and that of course was the start of my journey into reading . Since then I have for my own pleasure read most of her work too .without the library I would never have known the enjoyment of reading .
