Barbara as a Child
Barbara Taylor Bradford at the age of nine months
"Here I am as a fairy in the Sunday School Christmas Pantomime at Christ Church in Upper Armley, Leeds. My mother made my costume. I really enjoyed 'being on the stage,' and might have become an actress if I hadn't felt so compelled to write. Aged eight years."
"The night before this photograph was taken at a famous photographer's studio in Leeds, my mother curled each side of my hair with 'rags.' Well, I guess I was very proud of my side curls, since I'm smiling. I was three."
"Goodness knows why my mother took this when I was in the middle of a huge yawn, but she did, for posterity. Shown with my doll and teddy bear when I was three."
My father bought me this parasol, and then took a picture of me in my own chair. Don't I look splendid! I was two years old.
My mother helped me to make this 'car' of sand at Bridlington, a seaside resort in Yorkshire. I was three years old.
