  Hannah Hauxwell's existence on an isolated farm in the Yorkshire Dales changed dramatically when a television producer made a documentary about her experiences. The last of her family, Hannah was living alone in a decaying farmhouse without electricity or running water. Following the release of the television documentary, she was innundated with mail and money from all over the world, and became an instant celebrity. This biography traces her life of hard work and simple pleasures in the once-thriving rural community of Baldersdale. Barry Cockcroft is a freelance TV producer and has made some 20 documentaries including the award-winning documentary about Hannah Hauxwell, Too Long a Winter , and its follow-up, Children of Eskdale .
