Guardian Bookshop Notes:

A revealing and moving memoir of a lost childhood from the Poet Laureate. It is an unforgettable evocation of family life, school life and country life, telling of growing up in post-war England. By turns funny and elegiac, it is a remarkable insight into a poet's mind and a deeply moving portrait of the bond between a mother and her son. One of Faber's lead non-fiction books for the autumn.

Publisher's description:

A memoir of Andrew Motion's growing up in post-war England - an evocation of family life, school life and country life. Written from a teenage child's point of view, without the benefit of adult hindsight, this work captures the pathos and puzzlement of childhood.
