AbstractHistoryArchive Description
When Barbara Corbett was a little girl living in Dora Creek, New South Wales, she used to sit on a step in the sun and listen to these stories her mother told about her own childhood at the other side of the world....Her mother was one of eight mischievous children whose pranks and adventures present a fascinating family portrait of life a hundred years ago in an English midland city. A pea-soup fog, gypsy magic, a summer maypole, a mysterious toybox raider and a charabanc drawn by a handsome pair of dapple-greys all play their parts in these delightful tales.
