The grocer's granddaughter

The English are often referred to as 'A Nation of Shopkeepers', and my family were certainly among them."As the child of a family running a busy village shop, the author developed the ability to be "a fly on the wall" watching, listening and establishing lasting memories. She has drawn up a very special picture of life in the Worcestershire village of Ombersley during the 1940s. This is a pithy account of village life as it was, offering a view decidedly unlike a picture-postcard image. Vivid accounts of school days under the eagle eye of a Dickensian Headmaster, together with tales of growing up in the countryside, are recounted.
