Richard Bonehill has recently published the fruits of ongoing research into his famous kinswoman, the celebrated British music hall artist, Bessie Bonehill. In 'England's Gem', The Story of Bessie Bonehill, Richard celebrates Bessie's life and times during a forty year career that began in the 1860s. He describes his book, which has a selection of illustrations taken from rare original photographs and song sheets, as 'a work in progress.' Be that as it may, no one with an interest in the music hall or one of its finest performers should be without this fascinating volume.
Copies of 'England's Gem' are available direct from Richard Bonehill who may be contacted via his Web site.
