Daughter of the Dales – The World of Hannah Hauxwell –

“Hannah Hauxwell is the unlikeliest celebrity of her generation. First seen in the award-winning Yorkshire Television documentary Too Long a Winter, her story and personality has moved and inspired millions of people from Scandinavia to Australia.

Now liberated from the harshness and isolation of her existence as a one-woman farmer on a remote Pennine farm, Hannah remains very much a Daleswoman whose serenity, wisdom and commonsense is unimpaired.

Daughter of the Dales brings her remarkable story up to date. In it, she describes her anguish at leaving Lower Birk Hatt and her beloved animals, how she came to terms with her new home and with the demands of being famous. Filled with authentic social and natural detail, it is, like its subject, both fascinating and special.”
