Synopsis
The story of Hannah Hauxwell, the legendary spinster lady from the Yorkshire Dales, has enthralled this nation for more than two decades.
Each generation selects its heroes, but none is as entrancing or held in such affection as Hannah. Until 1991, she had barely set foot outside her native county. But now, following her celebrated debut in Innocent Abroad, when she did the grand tour of Europe, Hannah has sailed on the QE2 from Southampton to the United States of America. During the weeks that follow she travels thousands of miles experiencing sights and situations which stimulate the kind of reaction sure to delight her millions of admirers - that endlessly appealing mix of innocent curiosity and polite honesty. Amid the looming skyscrapers of Manhattan, all the way to the swamplands of Louisiana and deep into the heartland of Texas, she creates a remarkable impact.
Hannah Hauxwell is interested in people - after all, she spent most of the first sixty years of her life deprived of human companionship as she struggled on a pitifully small income to survive alone on a bleak hill farm. And people respond to Hannah. From the shoeshine man in New Orleans to the Amish folk in Pennsylvania, they all fall under the spell.
It was the camera which introduced Hannah to the outside world when Barry Cockcroft made his classic programme for Yorkshire Television, Too Long a Winter. He has charted her progress in a series of successful documentaries and bestselling books ever since. Cameras recorded every step of Hannah s American Odyssey for another television series.
This latest literary endeavour contains once again all the magic of Hannah Hauxwell as she delivers her descriptions and opinions, sometimes enigmatic, always fascinating, of her visit to the White House, stepping back into the past in Colonial Virginia, her close acquaintance with the moon in Houston, and searching keenly for real cowboys in Texas.
