This book is another collection of intimate, informal reminiscences which will provide a delightful game of inspiration-spotting for all the many fans of Mr. Delderfield's plays and best-selling novels. ...As a boy in Bermondsey, he remembers the Zeppelin era; in retrospect he relishes the quiet snobbery of the Avenue in suburban Addiscombe and recalls the first excitement of moving into 'the country' and later to the seaside.
