EDY WAS A LADY

Ellen Terry and her daughter Edith Craig

The subject of Ann’s latest book, this talk features the colourful life of Ellen Terry’s daughter told through her ‘lost’memoirs, found in an attic and now belonging to Ann Rachlin.

“What an absolute delight and privilege to meet you yesterday and listen to your wonderful portrayal of Ellen Terry’s life. I know I speak for one and all when I say we were truly ‘hanging on your every word’! I particularly noted at the end that all of our ladies stayed seated for some time as I think we were all still spellbound.”
