The Great Western Beach: A Memoir of a Cornish Childhood Between the Wars

This memoir of a 1923 to 1935 childhood pulsates with life. Newquay — its eccentric residents and exotic holiday-makers, its tennis tournaments and bathing parties, invigorating walks and teas at the Rose Cafe — is the Hallsmith children's entire world — a world observed and remembered in meticulous detail by young Elspeth."
