Tom Wakefield is a beguiling story teller and in Trixie Trash, Star Ascending, Margaret, his heroine, pushes to the front of the local children's dance class to steal the end-of-term show from the stage-frightened principal tot.

It is the start of a unique and idiosyncratic career. Margaret tucks local beauty queen titles firmly and regularly under her belt, loses her man in a mining disaster and eventually moves to London to find herself acting as 'dry nurse' to an alcoholic Lady and as an erratically successful model in an agency that specialises in faces that don't fit.

Fine comedy and unsentimental tragedy are inextricably intertwined in Tom Wakefield's warmly sympathetic story which he acknowledged as largely autobiographical.
