Description

A remarkable memoir from one of our greatest living writers, Alan Garner, takes readers back to a forgotten England. In 'Where Shall We Run To?', Garner recounts his early childhood in Cheshire, recalling the village school's eccentricities and his father's experiences during World War II. The war may have passed, but its impact on Garner's family remains vivid. His father joined the army to protect them from Hitler, while the arrival of American soldiers brought new influences - comics, sweets, and chewing gum. This memoir is a poignant and evocative portrait of a bygone era, where childhood memories are intertwined with the complexities of war. Garner's story is a testament to the power of memory and the enduring legacy of a forgotten England.
