Thoroughly Delightful

Delightful account of a young boy growing up in the Yorkshire Dales during the 1950's and 60's. Definitely recommend especially listening the account read by the author with his native accent.

Fresh, real and quietly humorous

What a store of memories - it was a revelation to hear his story and know how he grew up. Thank you.
