title: The Milliner's Apprentice: Girlhood in Edwardian Yorkshire
author: Hazel Wheeler
description: Hazel Wheeler was born and raised in Huddersfield where her parents and grandparents ran a grocery shop in Deighton for many years. She wrote five books for Amberley Publishing ranging from local to specialist history.
zlib_text: Milly Johnson is a very short – but damned attractive – author from Barnsley,
  South Yorkshire. She is also a poet, greetings card copywriter, columnist,
  after-dinner speaker and winner of _Come Dine With Me_ Barnsley. When not
  working, her hobbies include: sailing on big ships, hobnobbing with the
  transatlantic wrestling community, buying red lipsticks, listening to very
  loud rock music, admiring owls and trying to resist buying crap from eBay.
  
  She lives with her two sons, Teddy the Eurasier and a quartet of decrepit cats
  near her mam and dad in Barnsley, South Yorkshire. She is a proud patron of
  Haworthcatrescue.org and ‘The Well’, a complementary therapy centre associated
  with Barnsley Hospital. _An Autumn Crush_ is her sixth book.
