Ann Richardson

I have been a writer for many years.

My most recent book, The Granny Who Stands on Her Head, comprises a series of reflections on growing older and is partly a memoir.

But I am fascinated by other people’s experiences, thoughts and emotions and have written three recent books where people express their views in their own words. These are:

i) Life in a Hospice, Foreword by Tony Benn, about what it is like to work in end-of-life care;

ii) Wise Before Their Time, Foreword by Sir Ian McKellen, about people living with HIV/AIDS in the early 1990s;

iii) Celebrating Grandmothers, about the joys and challenges of being a grandmother.
