Description:PRE-ISBNFrom the back-inside of the dustwrapper:“In this book, Clifford Dyment recalls his childhood in provincial England during the 1920s and 1930s. Like many poets, he has an uncanny memory for detail, whether of sight, sound or smell, and his almost unfailing choice of the right image to describe these things makes for a vivid narrative. This book will be valued most for its matter-of-feel celebration of the cluttered objects of childhood, but it will be remembered too for the portraits of some of the adults who loomed Olympian-like around the growing boy, particularly his kind, hard-working carpenter father ….” , and the sad Mr Belton, who introduced him to the magical Railway Game as a cure for all evils. ‘A railway is a sort of door. At any time you can open it and take to the road, turning your back on a home that’s dreary and on a life that’s a misery to you.’ In these pages the dream of childhood is recreated as movingly as those two famous autobiographies of recent years, Richard Church’s “Over the Bridge” and Laurie Lee’s “Cider With Rosie”(/b).”We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
