Description
Hedges, Ditches and Dreams is a memoir that recounts Alastair Ashford-Brown's turbulent youth, marked by adventure, romance, and hardship. Born in Wiltshire, Ashford-Brown attended Marlborough College before being expelled for a rebellious act.
His life took a dramatic turn as he embarked on a journey of self-discovery, meeting Gypsies in France and joining their community in the Pyrenees. He recounts his experiences with shipwreck, imprisonment, and encounters with colourful characters that shaped his youth.
This book is Ashford-Brown's first foray into prose, following two collections of poetry: Songs of Sorrow and Joy and Nets in the Wind. Hedges, Ditches and Dreams offers a unique glimpse into a bygone era of traditional rural life and Bohemian cities.
