About the Book
The author's aim in writing this book is to spread laughter, and in that she certainly succeeds; but there is more. Through Daphne Farrow's intimate, and often comical accounts, we glimpse what it was like to grow up during the twenties and thirties, cope with the Plymouth Blitz, adapt to life in the RAF, marry an RAF test pilot, give birth in a car and raise a family in post war Britain. Fishing, a hilarious home help, dogs and a twenty-five year love affair with West Wales are also sources for anecdotes that will have you laughing out loud.
Contrasts with today's world are incidentally but clearly drawn, not only in content but also in the unfailingly affectionate and self-effacing tone in which the book is written. Feel good factor doesn’t begin to do justice to this book, which includes more than sixty photographs - one taken over 100 years ago.
