Book synopsis

From his birth in May 1945, Tommy Calvert's young life is shadowed by events of momentous historical significance taking place in the world around him, but it is the smaller scale, personal histories of Tommy and his friends which hold us spellbound in this beautifully evocative book. A victorious assent of Pendle Hill, the purchasing of a television set and an FA Cup Final trip may not go down in the history books with the defeat of Nazi Germany or the death of King George VI, but these anecdotes bear witness to a changing world as the memories of a time gone by, and they cannot but make you smile. Like Tommy in the book, the author was born on Merseyside and brought up in Nelson in the immediate post-war years. He is now a retired Headteacher, married with one grown-up daughter, and still lives in East Lancashire, having spent several years abroad earlier in his career.
