Summary

In this, his first book for adults, Allan Ahlberg sets out to recover or otherwise conjure up the early years of an oddly enchanted childhood lived out in a Black Country town in the 1940s. He writes of 'fugitive memories, the ones that shimmer on the edges of things: trapdoors in the grass, Dad's dancing overalls'
