Marion Langford is a journalist, editor and history tragic. 

Like most amateur genealogists, she is also the keeper of her family’s historical archive, with boxes of photos, documents and other bits and bobs filling the cupboard under the stairs. 

But it’s the quirky stories and tragic tales from everyday folk who were just trying their best to get on in this world that she loves the best. 

Approaching her storytelling with a journalist’s cap firmly in place, in Ratbags & Roustabouts she tells these extraordinary stories of ordinary people.
