Claire Williamson Knihy

Elizabeth was a bright young girl who knew what it was to have a heart sore with troubles. Born in Portland, Maine in the United States, Elizabeth was deeply impacted by the death of her father, who suffered from tuberculosis. However, in those early days she found that Jesus Christ and his love was her strength.   Living life as a Christian wife and mother didn’t mean that suffering became part of her past. She also had health problems and two of her own children died.   Elizabeth Prentiss continued to turn to her loving Heavenly Father for love and support, while also using her talent with the pen to bring glory to God and help to others in their time of need.   Her hymn ‘More Love to Thee’ was a declaration of love to her Saviour – Once earthly joy I craved, Sought peace and rest; Now Thee alone I seek, Give what is best;   This all my prayer shall More love, O Christ, to Thee, More love to Thee, More love to Thee!

This text is designed to develop a greater understanding of the process and context for entrepreneurship within the leisure and tourist industries as well as to provide key concepts. Up-to-date case studies are used throughout the text.

Claire Williamson's poems in Visiting the Minotaur are evidence of her adventures into the labyrinth of her past in a difficult and sometimes violent family. To uncover the truths she craves, she reconstructs circumstances, often borrowing characters from myths or paintings or legends, in order to come to terms with the dark facts of her childhood.
