Synopsis
Set in the First World War and immediately afterwards, this story evokes a world which has almost entirely disappeared, a picture to arouse nostalgia in the old and wonder in the young. Yet the truthfulness, sensitivity and problems of childhood give it a timeless quality which every reader will recognise with delight. The standards of life are set by the author's mother, an indomitable figure of great courage and understanding.
