A childhood memoir recording the years after World War II in Britain, starting in the summer of 1945 in Suffolk. The book describes the excitement for children at this time, as bombsites became adventure playgrounds. The book recalls the characters of the period, and remembers the stealing and "scrumping" of apples from blitzed and abandoned houses, the tin baths, ration books and demob suits. The author describes an early trip to London, a set of tin soldiers received as a birthday present, visits to the cinema to see Roy Rogers, and visits to the football grounds. The water-colours that accompany the story document the detail of post-war Britain, recreating for children a world that has since vanished.
