Publisher's Synopsis
In this book of evocative descriptions and anecdotes of a bygone era, Catrin Edwards-Jones writes about growing up in New Quay, Cardiganshire in the 1930s and 1940s. In those days it was a charming, quiet town peopled by retired master mariners, intriguing to a young girl with their telescopes and tall tales. Her childhood joys included the unforgettable hymn-singing of the holidaying Rhondda Valley miners, the temptations of the sweet shop, and adventures on the clifftops.
