Author Frank donates book profits to Dyslexia Action

Frank Goulding, 63, recently published his first book. Titled Could We Have Stopped Margaret Thatcher? it describes how the author played an active role in helping Dick Taverne make history by winning the 1973 Lincoln by-election as a Democratic Labour candidate.

The book  (ISBN  978-1-904959-62-5) is a fascinating account of local politics in Lincoln and also charts Frank's personal journey from the son of a Labour-supporting miner to be chairman of the Lincoln Labour Association via the young Conservatives. What makes this book all the more extraordinary is that Frank is dyslexic but hand wrote all 57,000 words himself, taking two years.

Frank has most generously donated all proceeds from the book to the Lincoln Dyslexia Action Bursary Fund, for which we are extremely grateful. Frank is pictured below with Lincoln Principal Margaret Muir.
