Summary

Christopher Rush returns, decades later, to rediscover his childhood and offers a frank account of his youth. This evocation of a way of life now vanished demonstrates the timeless power of the word in resurrecting the past. Rush writes of family, village characters, church, school, folklore and fishing, the eternal power of the sea, and the cycles of the seasons. With a poet's eye he navigates the worlds of the imagination and the unknown, the archetypal problems of fathers and sons and a mother's love, and the inescapability of childhood influences far on into adult life.

Author Biography

Christopher Rush's books include A Twelvemonth and a Day and the highly acclaimed To Travel Hopefully.
