Granny Was a Buffer Girl
''Granny Was a Buffer Girl'' is a realistic young-adult novel by Berlie Doherty, published by Methuen in 1986. It recounts stories of love, loyalty and change in several generations of a Sheffield family from the 1930s to the 1980s, linking them to the changing fortunes of that industrial city. Doherty won the annual Carnegie Medal from the Library Association, recognising the year's best children's book by a British subject.〔
The first American edition by Orchard Books in 1988〔 was Doherty's first book published in the U.S.
==Title==
The title is somewhat misleading, as Granny Dorothy's story is only a small part of the book, but it sets the focus on family history. A ''buffer girl'' was a worker in the Sheffield cutlery industry who used the polishing machinery on steel tableware: a hot and dirty job that required protective clothing. Doherty was inspired by the William Rothenstein painting "Sheffield Buffer Girls", depicting two young women in their work clothes.〔("Granny was a Buffer Girl" ). Discussion by Berlie Doherty.
