96pp. Black and white illustrations throughout. In glazed pictorial covers (very gently rubbed at edges). Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. A newspaper article reviewing the book and giving some information on the author is loosely laid in. Searing recollections of his childhood in Reading, Berkshire, in the inter-war years first began to appear in the Reading Chronicle in the early 1980s. They proved hugely popular, touching off memories for hundreds of others and recalling the days when a penny ride on the open-top tram took you shopping to McIlroys or Wellsteeds and families strolled to the Forbury Gardens on Sundays to hear the Reading Temperance Band. This volume brings together the best and richest of these recollections, forming a fascinating of ordinary Reading in the 1920s and 1930s. Oblong 16mo.
