"That year was a Christmas to remember. It must have been, because my memories are so clear even after more than seventy years ..." A little girl meets her father for the first time when he comes home from war. Later, school is a chaos of eccentric teachers and awful meals, and the first steps into adulthood are taken in the wake of a pioneering grandmother. A heartwarming memoir full of unforgettable moments in Lancashire and the Lake District

New for summer 2022: special second edition featuring cover artwork inspired by Lake Windermere
