Alexander Tulloch effortlessly evokes life in Liverpool from 1945 to 1962, when he was growing up with his parents, sister and grandparents in a small terraced house in Aintree. Without overdosing on sentimentality he conjures up a world, to today's children as alien as Victorian England, in which all adults seemed to smoke for England, a pint of beer cost a few pence, where frost painted patterns on the inside of the windows every winter, where 'lav' was a trek across the yard, and where you always went on holiday to Llandudno - an exciting 60 miles away.
Accompanies by an atmospheric selection of photographs, Alexander Tulloch's gentle reminiscences will be enjoyed by anyone who grew up in this era, whether in Liverpool or elsewhere.
