Publisher's Synopsis
Childhood memoir from the author of COW IN MY PARLOUR A KEY TO ALL MY HOUSES is the story of a quite exceptional childhood spent in a bewildering succession of country cottages and furnished rooms across the length and breadth of Southern England in the 1920s and 30s. This humorous, poignant and enormously readable account of a childhood is peppered with grown up secrets, moonlight flits and imaginative enterprises to keep food in the pantry.
