Rosemary Emmett

Rosemary was born in Berkshire  and grew up with a brother,  nine years her junior, to whom she  became  a mother figure early on when her mother died  tragically young. Her mother’s early death meant that Rosemary had no opportunity to stay on at school but was always an avid reader with English  her best subject. Rosemary, husband Ken and two children moved to Holywell in 1971 where she worked at Holywell School for many years and wrote stories for the children, which they all loved. Sadly Ken died in 2013 and by this time Rosemary had entered and been ‘highly commended’ in several short story competitions. Rosemary has been a  Needingworth Scribbler for many years  and runs  the poetry sub-group from her home; although writing short stories, for both adults and children, is her first love.
