More DescriptionRead about the customs of the times, which foreshadowed the computer age, and what it was like to grow up in a working-class family in southern Britain, where people didn't have a great deal, so some of us used to write stuff. The book shines a light on a young boy's interaction with the world and gives an accurate insight into the social structure of the time. Drawing on personal childhood experience, I've tried to portray a vivid picture of the customs and styles of that period, along with typical children's play and adventure, while describing products, systems, and technologies that were evolving,says the author. Children become adults, but the child remains within us all. Therefore, this book is dedicated to children, however old you may be.
