"Sidelights"
Shirley Toulson told CA: "Apart from the social history of the British countryside, my main interest is in contemporary English and American verse. More recently I have been working on the history of the early Celtic church and the places associated with it in Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and the south-west peninsula."
