Hay girl

Hay Girl – the girl from the book festival town

Three books in one

Bridget Ashton, (that’s Bridget’s childhood name) has compiled her Hay Girl trilogy, three books in one

  • Hay before the Bookshops or The Beeman’s Family
  • Hit the Road, Gals
  • Cold War, Warm Hearts 

The new book is modelled on her beloved trilogies, Laurie Lee of Cider with Rosie fame, and Flora Thompson’s Lark Rise to Candleford.  The young Bridget tells of her childhood in Hay in the 1950s, her astonishing student-era hitchhiking adventures, and her wanderings alone, on foot, in the shadow of Moscow, behind the Iron Curtain in the 1960s.
