In the early 1950s she moved to Tangier, Morocco where she served as a missionary nurse for 27 years. I would certainly let my older kids have a read of these on them to read and expand their horizons regarding other people’s lives, also she has a way of tackling an issue without being totally graphic, she is skilled in describing an event or a process without providing more than the reader actually needs to know. JOHN (1919-1993) was a nurse, missionary and author. I wouldn’t use these ones, like most of her books, as family read-a-louds for small children – they both deal with real and serious issues. Both of these are historical fiction and worthy books. ![]() ![]() This week I have two of her books to give away. tried to do the right thing so the characters really spoke to me back then. Don’t make the mistake of thinking her books are just for kids – they aren’t, I have been riveted by every one of them. I have read all the Patricia St john books to my kids and they love them. John books is that you know once you open them you will not be moving until you have turned the last page and these two books won’t disappoint you!!! She has a writing style that can describe a place and time so well that you quite literally feel you are living it. John Giveaways… It is historically proven: ![]()
