Companion volume to NO PROBLEM
Freddy Shaughnessy reflects on fifty years spent writing & directing for film, theatre and television, training at the Ealing Studios and going on to be principal script-writer and editor of TV series such as 'Upstairs Downstairs'.
Introduction by JAN BADENI
Stefan Badeni later realised that on first seeing Mauthausen he had not remembered Dante’s words: ‘Abandon hope, all ye who enter here’. His moving memoir describes his imprisonment there and subsequent years in hell.
Derrick Rugg describes his 1930s childhood at Kentisbeare, looking for wild violets or strawberries; running errands & helping on farms; of cricket, rabbit-chasing, catching minnows, & apple scrumping - until the time comes for secondary school.
Joyce spent her early years with her mother, brothers, cousins & beloved nanny; her father was absent, in India. She conveys with humour & charm the spartan yet secure world of her Edwardian childhood, by word & in her entertaining line drawings
Anne Garnett was a schoolgirl in the Quantock & Brendon Hills country of West Somerset in the 1920s. Aged sixteen, she began to keep a diary & her pen, pencil and paintbrush give a lively impression of the people & the country round her.
Sequel to CAUGHT FOR TIME
The author has holidays in Dorset, Brittany and London, but is always glad to get back to beloved Somerset. The end comes and ‘I shan’t write any more’, she says. (Years later she does, in diaries still to be published.)
