More about the book

The autobiography offers a dual perspective on life in Britain, particularly during the 1930s and early war years. Ellen shares her gripping experiences growing up in a challenging environment in Kensal Town, with vivid accounts of hardship and poignant moments, including a touching funeral scene. In contrast, John Waddell provides a humorous reflection on his upbringing in the Scottish countryside near Auchterarder, filled with charming anecdotes about rural life, from local wildlife to improvised golf courses, creating a rich tapestry of memories.
