Jennifer Worth trained as a nurse at the Royal Berkshire Hospital, Reading, and was later ward sister at the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Hospital in London, then the Marie Curie Hospital, also in London. Music had always been her passion, and in 1973 she left nursing in order to study music intensively, teaching piano and singing for about 25 years. Jennifer died in May 2011 after a short illness, leaving her husband Philip, two daughters and three grandchildren. Her books have all been bestsellers.
Fans of the four Call the Midwife books that inspired the TV series
will treasure this collection of letters to and from the author,
Jennifer Worth, who passed away in 2011. Her tales of life in 1950s
East End London inspired others to share their experiences of
nursing at the time, along with responses from people from all
walks of life. Perhaps most moving are the notes from Sister
Jocelyn (known as Sister Julienne in the books), offering words of
wisdom.

Jennifer Worth, author of the bestselling Call the Midwife, sadly
passed away in May 2011 following a short illness. Her books have
gained a great deal of popularity in recent years with their
mixture of warmth, sadness and humour based on her experiences
working as a midwife in the East End of London. Letters to the
Midwife features some of the treasured letters received by Worth
from former work colleagues and fans of her books. The resulting
book is a rich testament to a life lived fully and to a very
special lady whose memories have managed to inspire and touch so
many
