This is a collection of Catherine Cookson's first three Bill Bailey novels. Bill Bailey came into the life of young widow Fiona Nelson and her three children as a lodger. At first...

About the AuthorCatherine CooksonCatherine Cookson was born in Tyne Dock, the illegitimate daughter of a poverty-stricken woman, Kate, whom she believed to be her older sister. She began work in service but eventually moved south to Hastings, where she met and married Tom Cookson, a local grammar-school master. Although she was originally acclaimed as a regional writer - her novel The Round Tower won the Winifred Holtby Award for the best regional novel of 1968 - her readership quickly spread throughout the world, and her many best-selling novels established her as one of the most popular of contemporary women novelists. After receiving an OBE in 1985, Catherine Cookson was created a Dame of the British Empire in 1993. She was appointed an Honorary Fellow of St Hilda's College, Oxford, in 1997. For many years she lived near Newcastle upon Tyne. She died shortly before her ninety-second birthday, in June 1998.

Have you ever read any of the Catherine Cookson 'Bill Bailey' novels? If you do come accoss any of these books read them. Although the books are captivating, entertaining and witty I must admit they are very unbelievable because Bill Bailey is every woman's dream man. He is handsome, strong, protective, gentlemanly etc. He is too good to be true. Do any of us know a man that perfect?
There were parts in these novels when I did find myself getting emotional and I would also say the books are hard to put down.
Before reading these series of books I would have considered Catherine Cookson's books to be a bit like Mills and Boon but I have to admit this was an enjoyable series.
If you want some light bedtime reading - you know what book to buy.
