About the book

"Suddenly they were all talking about me. Then came the phrase that I would come to hear so often that it became burned into my soul, "Ydy e'n siarad Cymraeg?" (Does he speak Welsh?)" In this delightful, childhood memoir the author takes us back to the time when he was evacuated from wartime Newcastle, with his mother, to stay with an elderly aunt in Wales. It was a time when the local people all conversed fluently in their own native tongue, and the diverse characters he met were a fascination for him. Not least, was his Uncle Bob the local baker who introduced him to bread-making. A year or so later, mother and son left Pwllheli, to rejoin his father in Newcastle.
