Synopsis

I wrote this book in the hope that everybody could share the memories of my father and have a glimpse of the alternative lifestyle to those who lived in the towns and cities at that time. Follow the journey of my father's humble upbringing in the wilds of Norfolk in the thirties and forties amidst nature's playground. I'm sure you will smile and chuckle as you turn the pages and follow the life path of my father, the mischievous boy, turning into the most respected gamekeeper I know. Those of you who grew up in similar backgrounds may recognise the hardships and difficult days, along with the sense of freedom and exploration of that time, which had very few rules and regulations. This book may awaken your own memories of when the countryside was pure, untouched and full of life.

Biographie de l'auteur

Anne Marie White was born in Gloucestershire, the third child to a gamekeeper and his wife in the fifties. Growing up in remote rural areas of England, away from the towns and villages she was to some degree isolated from the rest of the world. Her playground was out in the woods and fields around the home, going along with her brother and sister to watch her father work whenever they could. When she went to school she thought everybody knew about the countryside and shooting and couldn't understand why her friends wouldn't believe the King had been to her home for a cup of tea and a piece of cake. So she kept it quiet and under her hat until her voice had grown. After moving around the countryside for most of her school years she left school and ended up at college doing a catering course. Anne then went on to have a family of her own. She now has two grandchildren and lives in West Sussex. Anne now chooses to work as a cook in a residential care home for the elderly as they appreciate her country style of quality home cooking. In her spare time as a hobby she started to write about her own childhood and experiences, until one day she realized how important it was to her father to get down in writing his intriguing life story. She already had the empathy with the countryside and her father and so the story begins. She found her voice.
