The newly updated memoir “Making Poldark” is now available in Europe…

May 19, 2012 by Robin Ellis

…from the local Amazon service in the UK, France, Italy, Germany and Spain!

The postage and packaging charges should be significantly cheaper than when ordering it from the US.

The revision is 9000 words longer and tells the sad story of the how the promising third series of Poldark failed to materialise– plus further stories of life after Poldark, including our move to France and how a passion for cooking and a diagnosis of Type Two diabetes had very positive consequences…

There are many more photos, some from Winston Graham’s private collection, taken when he and his wife Jean joined us on location in Cornwall during the filming of the second series.

I will be ordering “Making Poldark” one of my all time favorite series/books. I wish there were more. How about Poldark being a grandfather. That would work. V/DE

Was a passionate fan when we lived off Fulham Road and used to see you walking to the paper shop -made my day when I was pregnant and feeling rather gross. Now have 2lovely sons -one with diabetic girlfriend so will be buying book and trying recipes. Completely serendipitous that I was a fan -and also that I now work with your cousin Jane (Owen) !
