Following the death of her beloved mother Jennifer Worth in 2011, Suzannah Worth discovered amongst her manuscripts a folder simply labelled ' Fifth Book' . Imagine her excitement when she sat down to read and her mother' s distinctive voice came flooding back. She found herself once again immersed in the world of the 1950s East End of London. The voices of much loved, familiar characters spoke loud and clear, particularly that of Fred the boiler man, who features extensively in this joyful collection. From Fred and Maisie' s romance, to Fred' s little earners including boat tours on the Thames, a fledgling singing career and raising pigs on the allotment, these new stories are as heart-warming and funny as the originals. Published here for the first time and accompanied by a selection of Suzannah' s favourite chapters from the original memoirs, featuring Chummy and Sister Monica Joan, this is a very special addition to the Call the Midwife family.
Jennifer Worth trained as a nurse at the Royal Berkshire Hospital, Reading, and was later ward sister at the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Hospital in London, then the Marie Curie Hospital, also in London. Music had always been her passion, and in 1973 she left nursing in order to study music intensively, teaching piano and singing for about 25 years. Jennifer died in May 2011 after a short illness, leaving her husband Philip, two daughters and three grandchildren. Her books have all been bestsellers and have been translated into more than twenty languages. Suzannah Worth is the elder of Jennifer' s two daughters. Following Jennifer' s death, she and her father devoted their time to keeping Jennifer' s work and memory alive. Suzannah trained in special needs education, has taught clarinet and worked in libraries. She plays clarinet in the Hemel Symphony Orchestra and sings in a local choir. In her spare time she enjoys baking, pottering in the garden, cycling, swimming and yoga. Suzannah lives in Hemel Hempstead and has two daughters and one Godson. Inspired by her mother, Suzannah is now writing her first book.
