Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. What was life like for one very ordinary boy growing up in suburban Merseyside in the 1960s? This author takes the reader into his world as he reacts to the inexorable tide of progress, developing a fascination with the past. Readers will find the author's recollections and observations resonating with their own: it will jog memories of going to school, watching TV, of childhood adventures and explorations and getting into scrapes. The author has a keen eye for detail and paints a vivid picture of his parents' new home and his immediate surroundings, but also links his own experiences to what was going on in the wider world. This is an enchanting, often humorous and compellingly readable account. AUTHOR: David J.
