MEMOIRS OF A REDRUTH CHILDHOOD
By Winifred Hawkey
The author of these delightful memoirs was born in 1902 and this book has caaptured the essence of childhood in those distant days before the Great War. Hawkey provides absorbing reading for those who are old enough to remember what life was like before the advent of the automobile, radio, telephone and television began to dominate our daily lives.
The book also provides an interesting and entertaining comparison for the youngsters who may care to consider whether they are the losers or the winners in enjoying the advantages of twentieth century technology! Most of all, perhaps, the book reminds those who live or have lived in Redruth, of people, places and events connected with that ancient Cornish town.
