Carol Lee

Contains 1 performance.

Carol is an author and a journalist who worked in national newspapers, radio and television before ‘coming home’ to write.

Born in Carmarthenshire, she spent much of her childhood in Africa before returning to the UK to begin a career in journalism.

Since then, she has been a reporter for the BBC, a columnist on the Daily Mail, and a contributor to The Observer, Punch Magazine, The Guardian, The Independent and The Sunday Times.

She considers herself to be part African, part Welsh and part English, all of which inform her body of work, which includes individual short stories, poems, and a play, Feet First.  Taken from her excellent website which you should visit for more  information.
