Description
Melvyn Bragg''s first ever memoir - an elegiac, intimate account of growing up in post-war Cumbria, which vividly evokes a vanished world.''The best thing he''s ever written . . . What a world he captures here. You can almost smell it'' Rachel Cooke, Observer''Wonderfully rich, endearing and unusual . . . a balanced, honest picture'' Richard Benson, Mail on SundayIn this elegiac and heartfelt memoir, Melvyn Bragg recreates his youth in the Cumbrian market town of Wigton: a working-class boy who expected to leave school at fifteen yet who gained a scholarship to Oxford University; who happily roamed the streets and raided orchards with his gang of friends until a breakdown in adolescence drove him to find refuge in books.Vividly evoking the post-war era, Bragg draws an indelible portrait of all that formed him: a community-spirited northern town, still steeped in the old ways; the Lake District landscapes that inspired him; and the many remarkable people in his close-knit world. ''A charming account of a lost era, full of details and often lyrical descriptions of people and places . . . fascinating and often moving'' Christina Patterson, Sunday Times
