Long Ago and Far Away

Long Ago and Far Away 
John O'Sullivan grew up in the old East End - the thriving, industrial heartland of London. Long Ago and Far Away is an invaluable document of a way of life long since vanished. Descriptions of London's thriving Docklands form a backdrop to an intimate, moving and richly humorous account of a working-class family and the ups and downs of their lives. In this vividly written memoir, O'Sullivan conjures up the people and places, pleasure and calamities, of this lost and almost forgotten world, and traces the story of his family as they face the horror of the Blitz and their subsequent flight to newly developed 'plotlands' in the Essex countryside.

By turns poetic and humorous, informative and nostalgic, Long Ago and Far Away will be read with pleasure by those who remember the period and as a revelation by those who want to know more about what life was like at this extraordinary moment in British social history.
