5.0 out of 5 stars Kathleen Ferrier letters & diaries, 18 April 2005
Christopher Fifield creates a very warm and complete picture of Kathleen Ferrier, which really brings her personality and character out much more than the biography written by Ferrier's own sister did.
The book is essentially Ferrier in her own words: her letters, mostly warm and friendly, reveal a down-to-earth, Northern lass who often discusses washing, ironing, going to the "flix" and catching the bus home, on the same page as details about her highly sought-after performances. She was clearly an avid and faithful letter-writer, showing impeccable manners to everyone she wrote to, whether relation, fan or big celebrity. They "begin" in 1942, and follow acquaintances with ever more illustrious people.
The diary entries are inevitably more brief and factual, but still make fascinating reading, and testify to a breathtakingly busy career. Here and there she adds comments, and there is a facsimile of her very last diary entry, which is very poignant.

There are some nice "photies" (Ferrier's word!) and detailed appendices, as well as introductory/explanatory paragraphs by the Editor, which are very readable and helpful.
Well done Christopher Fifield.
If you are as curious about this amazing singer as I was, you will love this book.
