edit data

Helena Fairfax is a British author who was born in Uganda and came to England as a child. She's grown used to the cold now, and these days she lives in an old Victorian mill town in the north of England, right next door to the windswept Yorkshire moors and the home of the Bronte sisters. She walks this romantic landscape every day with her rescue dog, finding it the perfect place to dream up her heroes and her happy endings.

Helena Fairfax liked James Christie's blog post: Steinbeck, Travels With Charley, The Red Pony, Dear Miss Landau and Me! " “It is an unpretentious story. I think the philosophic content is so buried that it will not bother anybody.” (Letter from John Steinbeck to George Albee regarding The Red Pony, 1933) “We so easily forget the past was real.

“You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what's a life, anyway? We're born, we live a little while, we die. A spider's life can't help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that.”
― E. B. White, Charlotte’s Web
