  Written with humour and flair, Lasting Joys tells of Muriel Yendell's home life in Nelson, Lancashire before the Second World War, gives an insight into the wartime experience of a young woman, her path into the world of musical education and her amazing ability to produce music from performers with great talent as well as those with lesser gifting. Lasting Joys tells of Muriel Yendell's endeavour to bring the best out of people in both classroom, church (Salvation Army) and concert hall. Salvation Army summer music schools brought musical excellence as well as spiritual grounding for hundreds of young people who will remember her as Muriel Packham, a hard taskmistress, but scrupulously fair in all her dealings.
