Modern Writers

Local authors include the romantic novelist 'Anne Hepple' (i.e.A.H.Dickinson, 1877-1959) who lived in Castle Terrace, Berwick.

Modern authors setting stories on Holy Island include TV writer Gordon Honeycombe, better known for the series London's Burning. In his "Dragon under the Hill" (1972) the Island's ancient past casts a sinister shadow over a boy's holiday with his family.

Seal Story (1979) by Kathleen Fidler is a tale of an ingenious nine year old who saves a seal pub. There is a lot of detail of the close-knit island community.
