Summary:  "Ivy, Dulcie, Barbara, Ann, Dorothy and Jean all had different reasons for applying to work at Carr's biscuits, but once they had put on their overalls and walked through the factory gates they discovered a community full of life, laughter and friendship. Beginning in the 1940s, these heartwarming and vividly-remembered stories were collected by the author. In 1831 John Dodgson Carr, son of a Quaker grocer, was determined to launch a great enterprise. Within 15 years, Carr's of Carlisle had become one of the largest baking businesses in the world, and is a by-word for biscuits to this day. Carlisle is in Cumbria and is the second most northerly city in England. Hunter Davies is the author of over forty books, including the only official biography of the Beatles"--Provided by publisher.
