About the author

Jennifer Worth

An article in the journal Midwives in January 1998 complained that midwifery had produced almost no literature of its own, nothing to match what James Herriot had done for veterinary work. Its author, Terri Coates, heard back from a retired musician in her sixties who had once ridden a bicycle around Poplar with a delivery bag.
