The non-fiction novel

[edit]

The final sentence is currently "William's other novels include the popular best seller Beyond Belief a non fiction account of the moors murderers Ian Brady and Myra Hindley." Which of "non-fiction" and "novel" is it? Reviews on the net have left me none the wiser because the extracts available don't look like a typical non-fiction account to me, but they are very short, and I don't know whether they're typical. --Telsa 10:01, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Holywell School and Miss Cooke

[edit]

According to 'George', the first part of Emlyn Williams's autobiography, Holywell County School was founded in 1896. Miss Cooke joined the school in 1912, as a teacher, not a social worker. She taught Emlyn (George, as he was known then) French and Latin and arranged for him to learn Italian and Greek and later Spanish and arranged for him to spend some time with a French friend, a fellow-schoolmistress, at Vincentier in the Haute-Savoie, near the Swiss border but not in Switzerland. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maggietranslator (talkcontribs) 11:38, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
