«Klever Kaff, Kathleen Ferrier» is Ian Jack's book about Kathleen Ferrier, published by Allia in paperback (100 pages).
The book starts from a domestic anecdote: Kathleen Ferrier sews a button on Jack Hetherington's coat and the family's three-year-old son exclaims «Clever Kaff!», the phrase that gives the work its title. The narrative follows the thread of that episode and reconstructs the fate of the Hetheringtons and the Wilsons, in Silloth, a small port on the coast of Cumberland.
The book belongs to Allia's Petite Collection, was published in 2006, and its cover reproduces a photographic portrait of Kathleen Ferrier.
For readers interested in Kathleen Ferrier and in biographies that start from small domestic episodes.
