Dedication: We dedicate this anthology to Doris Leadbetter - poet, author and beloved teacher (1927-2004).

Epigraph: Our Doris We thank you our Doris for yourself and your wit, Your knowledgeable insights and pithy on-dit, Your persistent sleuthing in researching the facts, and peppering lessons with comedy acts. Your diligent reading of our literary works and fair summing up with Leadbetter-lined quirks, Your Roman occupation of our Aussie land You're a light in our hearts yes you're Yorkshire 'grand'!
