In September 1940, a four-year-old London boy gazed at the night sky, illuminated by the burning city. Eighty years later, in another emergency and a vastly different world, the same lad was persuaded to write about his ordinary life, which had occasionally been quite extraordinary. The author vividly describes his career in education, the immense pleasure he finds in the arts and sports, and his experiences in a world that has now faded into history. Additionally, with often moving directness, the author reveals his home life, which has provided a joyful and safe haven for his forays into the world over the past eight decades.
