Here is an engaging and true to life account of a childhood spent in the village of Eyam in the Derbyshire Peak District. The author recalls how her mother cheerfully confronted great problems without labour-saving devices, and often without money. She remembers, too, her father, who fought for the right to join a union, worked for self-help groups, organized political meetings, and entertained the children with stories and tunes on his tin whistle. His fighting spirit made him a powerful and remarkable figure withing the village community.
Both light-hearted and serious, this charming description of domestic and community life at the turn of the twentieth century is illustrated with some delightful contemporary photographs and drawings by George Coates.
