Nina Harrington

Nina Harrington grew up in rural Northumberland, England, within walking distance of both heather moorland, and wonderful long sandy beaches, flanked by dramatic castles such as Bamburgh and Dunstanburgh.Every room in her family home was warmed by open fires fed by local coal, pine logs and sea-coal collected from the beach, while the kitchen was supplied from the family smallholding.She decided aged eleven, that her dream job was to be a librarian because then she could read all of the books in the public library whenever she wanted!Nina was just as happy to pick up her mother’s ‘Angelique’ or Mills and Boon Romance, or her dad’s Zane Grey, as Charles Dickens and Keats.
