About The Author. Pamela Corbett was born and educated in England, and, some years after she married, settled in Argentina with her husband and daughter, where she presently resides. Writing stories, poetry and gardening occupy her time. 'As a painter I deal with colour,' she says, 'and, naturally, everything about visual creative expression delights me, but I am also endlessly intrigued and fascinated by the myriad colours and nuances found in the realm of speech and sound. So the marriage of the two, in this book, was, for me, a party.'
