Josephine Cox was born in Blackburn, one of ten children who never forgot her own experience of hardship. She had a long and happy marriage to her husband, Ken, and was immensely proud of her family and her grandchildren. Josephine's books have sold over twenty million copies worldwide, and she said of her success, 'I could never imagine a single day without writing. It's been that way since as far back as I can remember.' Her stories live on through Gilly Middleton who worked with Josephine for many years and writes new stories inspired by her world.
