p.d.r. lindsay (no capitals please in tribute to a favourite poet, e. e. cummings) makes New Zealand home. Born in Ireland, brought up in Yorkshire, educated in England, Canada and New Zealand, writer p.d.r. lindsay is also Mrs Salmon, Ms Lindsay-Salmon and even for eight years in Japan, Professor Lindsay-Salmon. This wide experience of different cultures colours her writing and keeps her travelling.
Social issues are her main concern which is why she writes historical stories about ordinary people, the ones whose names and lives we don't know much about. Reading the diaries and letters of parsons and farmers, wives and daughters, merchants and tradesmen showed her how the basic human dilemmas do not change over the centuries. She finds that certain human trait both good and bad, can be better shown through historical stories than through contemporary ones and hopes that readers will think about those failings as they apply to today.
This was the parcel Greg'd been waiting for, but now he had second thoughts. What if it didn't work? He'd feel a real nerd. He rocked heel to toe, one foot scrunching on the heel of the other, shilly shallying. Greg knew how unhappy his grandmother was. She'd come for a visit and had an accident and couldn't go home for a long time. He'd thought up a plan to help her but it was unusual and a bit silly. Dare he do it? Would it work? He'd never know unless he tried.
