Patricia St. John - The Story Behind the Stories - Trailblazers

Patricia St. John's life is a story in itself but she grew up to become one of the world's best-loved Christian writers for children.

After almost being born in the middle of a storm on the Bay of Biscay it was no surprise to see Patricia's life take twists and turns along the way. She had an adventurous spirit, so when the bombs fell during the blitz in London there she was, working as a nurse!

When looking after thirty children in a boarding school as housemother, her exciting bedtime stories were favorites among the children. They were later to become her classic stories, Tanglewood's Secret and Treasures of the Snow!
