Description
There Was a Time by Victor Shackleton A gripping and moving account of growing up during World War II, this memoir tells the story of a young boy's journey into manhood. With vivid descriptions of his schooldays, apprenticeships as a steeplejack, and experiences in a grocery warehouse, the author shares a unique perspective on life during wartime. The book also explores the author's passion for music and his encounters with other steeplejacks, including one who was a magician. Additionally, he recounts the story of his grandfather's remarkable survival after falling from a chimney stack. With over 48 illustrations, this second edition of There Was a Time offers an engaging and entertaining read that raises awareness for a deaf and blind charity.
