Catherine Cookson’s zodiac sign is Cancer. According to astrologers, the sign of Cancer belongs to the element of Water, just like Scorpio and Pisces. Guided by emotion and their heart, they could have a hard time blending into the world around them. Being ruled by the Moon, phases of the lunar cycle deepen their internal mysteries and create fleeting emotional patterns that are beyond their control. As children, they don't have enough coping and defensive mechanisms for the outer world, and have to be approached with care and understanding, for that is what they give in return.
Catherine Cookson was born in the Year of the Horse. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Horse love to roam free. They’re energetic, self-reliant, money-wise, and they enjoy traveling, love and intimacy. They’re great at seducing, sharp-witted, impatient and sometimes seen as a drifter. Compatible with Dog or Tiger.
A prolific English author who sold over 100 million copies of her books, she is best known for the Kate Hannigan series, the Mary Ann stories, the Bill Bailey trilogy, and numerous other novels for adults and children. She sometimes wrote under the pen names of Katie McMullen and Catherine Marchant.
She dropped out of school when she was just thirteen years old and worked as a domestic servant. She published her first literary work, Kate Hannigan, in 1950.
She suffered a psychological breakdown in her mid-thirties as a result of experiencing four miscarriages. She began writing in an attempt to overcome her depression.
She was born to an unwed mother and was raised by her grandparents; she grew up thinking that her biological mother, Kate Fawcett, was actually her sister. She married Tom Cookson, an elementary school Teacher, when she was thirty-four years old.
She and W. H. Auden are both famous English authors.
