It's everybody's ideal to raise their children in the countryside.Best-selling author Mike Pannett lived that dream in the 1960s & 70s.For a young boy with an enquiring mind,the English countryside and its beautiful coastline were one big adventure playground peopled by larger-than-life characters and with endless opportunities for fun.Given a fishing rod,a bottle of pop and a jam sandwich,a boy could wander as far as his bike would take him,and never be asked what he'd been up to when he got back for tea.
'A Likely Tale,Lad' is Mike's reminisences of that idyllic childhood,and reminds us of a time of laughs and larks growing up in the 1970s.
