Publisher's Synopsis
Born into the Boxall family in 1924, Ronald was brought up in Duck Lane, Midhurst: at that time an address synonymous with hardship. The tale of "the average life of an average boy born of poor parents, who lived under slum conditions, yet dwelt in the centre of a tiny and pretty town set in a near paradise of pastoral and sylvan delights". Ronald tells his story with natural wit and clarity, sharing his memories of a bygone age.
