ANNE Watt, a Lifton based author is celebrating the paperback edition of her critically acclaimed book 'Always the children' entering the top 10 best-selling paperback chart in the UK.

'Always the children' is a book based on Anne's time spent as a nurse across the world, and details this time through the eyes of the children she cared for, along with the doctors, nurses and soldiers she also encountered.

Critics have poured over the 'heart-rendering and inspirational' tale she tells, with one saying 'The perspective of someone who comes from a background of war wounds and broken hearts makes you wonder. Anne is a lady with an incredibly hopeful outlook on life – not completely disheartened like you might perhaps expect. Quite the opposite.'
