My Wild Youth In Gloucestershire

Description

By Dick Sheppard

This book recounts vivid memories and exploits of Dick between the 1930’s and 1960’s eras. It demonstrates especially the effect of World War II on life before and after the hostilities.

There are stories from the parishes of Tuffley, Podsmead, Hempsted, Quedgeley and Hardwicke, especially appertaining to the canal, which passes through the latter and on to Sharpness.

For the history buffs, there are revealed several little known facts from this period and the area concerned.

Finally it gives an insight into the formative years of someone who went on to become a world record-holding stunt artist
