Marjorie Dunn - Sheffield Author.

Marjorie Phyllis Dunn was born and educated in Sheffield. She became a secretary before turning a childhood hobby of puppetry into a part-time occupation. She is known by thousands of children simply as "The Puppet Lady".

Married with two grown-up children, Marjorie now lives in Totley and shares her interests, particularly in local and family history, by giving talks in the region.

It is her love of old Sheffield that inspired her to write The T'alli Stone and The Reluctant Traveller, in which she endeavours to portray Sheffield as it was in Georgian and early Victorian times. Her first book, For the Love of Children is a history of poor children in Sheffield: money raised from the sale of this book helps to provide holidays for deprived children everywhere.
