Red Rowans<br />

and Wild Honey<br />

The sequel to the perennially popular<br />

The Yellow on the Broom, Red Rowans<br />

and Wild Honey follows Betsy’s story<br />

to the end of the Second World<br />

War. She recounts in vivid detail the<br />

heady years of her adolescence, her<br />

courtship and her mother’s struggle to<br />

bring up four children in the only way<br />

a travelling woman knew: hawking<br />

wares, fruit picking, tatty howking -<br />

in fact any kind of work that would<br />

provide the next meal.<br />

This edition also contains another<br />

substantial piece of autobiography,<br />

which remained incomplete at the<br />

time of her death and which appears<br />

in print here for the first time.<br />
