In this memoir, Melvyn Bragg reflects on his childhood in the Cumbrian market town of Wigton during the post-war era. He shares his experiences as a working-class boy who anticipated leaving school at fifteen but instead received a scholarship to Oxford University. The book captures his adventures with friends, including exploring the town and raiding orchards, alongside the challenges he faced during adolescence. Bragg paints a picture of a close-knit community shaped by tradition and the inspiring landscapes of the Lake District.
