What people say

 Terry Webb, wrote in the foreword to his book An Edmonton Boy : 'I am writing this book because I feel my childhood was so exciting compared with today's childhoods. I often tell my own family these stories which they all enjoy and I just felt that if I put my stories into a book other people would be interested. In my boyhood, we were very seldom at home; we were always out doing something. We lived on the railway and by the rivers. What do kids do now? The richness we had you can't buy.' |
 Helen Roberts writes: 'All my working life has been spent in education as a teacher, headmistress and inspector. I was lucky to be working at a time when there was freedom to experiment. Thinking and talking about it, I realise how much we achieved; how much enthusiasm and creativity there was. I'm really pleased to have it documented.' |
Anyone who has lived to eighty-four is bound to have seen huge changes in their life and it is fascinating to have a record of her childhood in Ceylon in the 1920s and married life with a baby in England in the war years. It is lovely to see family photos. We have also had included in the book a copy of an epic poem written by my father and found after his death. This makes it very special to me. I only wish I had had his story done as he always had a very humorous angle on anything that happened to him and he would have enjoyed the telling.' |
Fred Wooten wrote ' I have mapped out some of the important things that have happened to me. I was never very good at exams and I made mistakes but I have had some successes too. I want to record that this is how I saw things, this is who I am, and these are the things that are important to me at this stage in my life.'
Jenny Davis gave a Biograph to her mother: ' My sister and I both felt it was important that our mother should tell her fascinating life story while she still could, as her memory was less good than it had been. She is now in a residential home and enjoys lending her story to staff and residents. She rereads it herself sometimes and always says, "I can't believe I've had such an interesting life and done all those things."
