I picked up an old hardbacked copy of this years ago at a carboot. It has travelled with me far and wide. It has moved 3 homes with me, and I finally got the pleasure to read it.

Well worth the wait. A interesting delve into a part of British history and culture.

It is an old book, so the proses and writing took some getting used to, but once I did, I worked my way through it.

A heart warming coming of age story, about what it is to be a man. Some of its lessons apply as easily today as they do when this book was written.
