Autorenporträt

When Judy Driscoll moved to Poulsbo, she was enchanted with the beauty of the village on the bay and intrigued with the history and tales of its early pioneers. Paul's Place is the product of her love of sharing that history with her students. Because her annual walking tour of historic Poulsbo was so well received by both students and their parents, it seemed only natural to compile her research into this stroll through local history. This is her first book.
