My partner just read The Peppered Moth by Margeret Drabble who comes from Mexborough and is based on her mothers life. Her father used to own a factory called Drabbles.My partner has read other books by MD but didn't know until this one the connection to Doncaster.
Loathe him or not, Clarkson has written quite a few books..
I read on e called Danny Boy when I was a teenager. I remember it being ok but can't rememebr the author's name.More recently, friend of Mine by the name of Will Templeton wrote a good one called Births, Marriages and Death. A bit of a slow burn to start with but it gets really engaging.Then there's our own vivarovers AKA Glen Wilson with his first book titled W C L D N. I read it on kindle a few months ago and thoroughly enjoyed it so I'm delighted that it's being published.
Have you ever seen SS kick a ball? I haven't😁
There was one written by an old Balby lady, there was also one written by someone from Mexborough about growing up in 1970s that was really good but spoiled by them going to Millmoor

Last time I saw him was in 2012, when we toured the community with our production of "Kes". He played the headmaster, I played the games teacher.Great times. He's a good bloke, Will.

They'll come in useful after the no deal Brexit at the end of the year when we run out of shit roll again.Meanwhile, did anyone ever sort out if the book that led to Get Carter (Jack's Return Home) was actually set in Donny?
