For Old Times Sake
Angebote / Angebote:
Walter Nash recalls his childhood in an industrial town in north-west England, partly in vivid immediate recovery and partly in the reflective light of adult memory. The 'old days' of the 1930s come to mind: days of the family, days of street life, of 'hopscotch and coddymuck', days of wireless and gramophone and the parlour piano, days of sport and pastime, days of schooling, days of churchgoing. With the memories of days come the memories of people - parents, grandparents, kinsfolk, teachers, parsons, Dickensian eccentrics like the medicine hawker, the coalman, the street preacher and the rag-and-bone man. These people, celebrated here for old times sake, are the working class of once-upon-a-day, after 1939, never the same again.
