JONES, JUDITH

76 Morden Road, Newport, South Wales, NP19 7ET
Tel: (01633) 667630

Writer of traditional rhyming verse, serious and comic. Judith was educated at the Thomas Delarue Grammar School, run by Scope (formerly the Spastics Society), thereafter Culham College of Education, Oxford. She has enjoyed outstanding popularity among adult audiences and now seeks greater involvement in schools and colleges. Judith provides a unique opportunity for students to meet somebody with a considerable disability who has chosen to exploit a very much despised literary form and ended up being a highly acclaimed performer! She might well be appropriate to those learning about the physical / social / health / emotional area of curriculum in addition to English studies.
