Brought into the peaceful world of the Gloucestershire village of Ashton-under-Hill in April 1915, Fred Archer's childhood was spent in the innocent age between the two world wars. Here he once again brings to life that lost world of summers spent sledging on grass on the staves of cider barrels, when the ingenious could construct their own toys, and severe Sunday school teachers instilled a sense of terror in their young charges.

A time of great change for the village is recalled, where the introduction of the wireless is met with the deepest suspicion and even a minor motor accident finds its way into the pages of the newspaper.
