A Wiltshire Boyhood in the 1920s and ‘30s.
Bob Savory was born in Westbury in 1913 and in this humorous and honest book, he recollects his early years until the start of his young working life from the age of 14. Colourful local characters are remembered, as well as local events such as the carnivals, the annual Sunday School outing to Weymouth in a charabanc and the excitement of the travelling fair, when chips in a paper cone cost a penny. This book will appeal to anyone who knows and loves the Wiltshire area but also to those readers who enjoy being transported into a bygone age when life seemed simple and full of expectation.
