Books by Anne Wheeler

Laced with humour and revelation, Anne Wheelers creative non-fiction stories tell of her serendipitous journey in the seventies, when she broke with tradition and found her own way to becoming a filmmaker and raconteur. Join this celebrated screenwriter and director as she travels south of Mombasa after calling off her wedding; attempts to gain acceptance in a male-dominated film collective; travels to India to visit friends who are devoted to a radical Master, and ultimately discovers her sense of purpose and passion close to home, sharing stories that would otherwise be lost about ordinary people living extraordinary lives. Taken by the Muse: On the Path to Becoming a Filmmaker is a must-read for anyone open to exploring the possibilities of who they are and what they might do with their lives and for those who love a good story told with integrity and warmth.

Each image is accompanied by a detailed caption, bringing the past to life and describing many aspects of life in the historic market town, including chapters on work and the once-thriving salt industry, leisure and local events, people and pastimes, providing a vital record of vanished vistas and past practices.
