À propos du livre
Born in the East Yorkshire market town of Beverley in 1933, Clive Taylor recounts memories and stories from his childhood with sincerity and ease. Early family and school life is transformed by preparations for war but Clive's recollections capture his world of thrills and excitement above the fear which is evident in the adults around him.
From exploding chickens and a putrid porpoise; home-made electrocution machines and live ammunition; a stowaway journey which goes horribly wrong and short-lived duties as a prisoner-of-war guard, Clive brushes off death more than once in these true tales before emerging into his post D-Day town as a triumphant teenager
