Author

Born into a mining family in a South Yorkshire mining village, Barry Hines (1939-2016) worked first in a coal mine before going to college, working as a teacher, and then becoming a full-time writer of fiction and screenplays for film and television. Hines is best known for A Kestrel for a Knave, which was filmed by Ken Loach, who also filmed Hines' novels The Gamekeeper, The Price of Coal and Looks and Smiles. Following the republication of The Gamekeeper in 2022, And Other Stories continues its Hines' revival with Looks and Smiles in 2023.
