Publisher's Synopsis
Following the success of his present-day stories in 'Looking Towards the Tamar', in this anthology Ted Sherrell looks back to the early post-war years. It is a time of considerable austerity, with wartime rationing only just being phased out, and people's lives still affected by the previous decade's hostilities. Yet, as the new decade progresses, there awakens a sense of exciting beginnings and a chance for modernisation and a better life.
