MEET THE AUTHOR: Penny Haw

Due for release any day now, The Invincible Miss Cust by Penny Haw (Sourcebooks) is a real must for anyone who loves animals and the stories of unsung women from the past - because Aleen Isabel Cust on whom this book is based was the woman who defied her family and society to become Britain and Ireland's first woman veterinary surgeon. Amazing. Hear how Penny came across this extraordinarily determined woman - and her take on living the dream.
