TAVISTOCK'S well known author Lilian Harry offered the pleasure of her company to one lucky bidder for the price of £100.

To raise money for Children in Need, Lilian Harry, who has written 22 novels, offered the chance for someone to pay to have tea with her.

Sue Pavier paid the £100 and enjoyed a cup of tea with Lilian at the Bedford Hotel in Tavistock.

Lilian lives in Tavistock and is the author of 22 family saga novels, several of which have been featured in the Sunday Times Best Sellers List.

She is currently writing a series set in the fictional Dartmoor village of Burracombe, which will be published in July.

Lilian was delighted to be able to contribute to Children in Need.
