    About this ebook

    Ray Wooster shares memories of his early years growing up in Greenford and Northolt, greater London in the 1930s and 1940s.
    Telling of ‘making do’, the days before the NHS and being evacuated to relatives in Swansea during the 1939-1942 war provide an insight into another era.
    These memories, gently expressed, are suitable for readers of all ages.
